unknowns
[ QUOTE ]
Does anyone have any background on Yosh Nakano, Henry Orenstein or Dennis Wagner? These are the only 3 players in the bracket I am not at all familiar with. Thanks, His name is Dennis Wager not Dennis Wagner. He has been playing poker for about a year, has never won in his life, and regularly loses about 5,000/night playing 30-60. The only time he has ever won in anything in poker, is playing me heads up, and he has beaten me twice. He is a very nice guy, with a TON OF MONEY but is one of the worst players to ever play the game. I already heard from a mutual friend yesterday that he was playing Sammy Farha heads up yesterday and by the time my friend got to the hotel, (he was a guest of Dennis') he was already re-buying for another 50,000. Very strange that he was invited, the way Dennis always told this story, is that this tournament was going to be "half whales, half pro's." And hes the only true unknown whale in the whole tournament. Be interesting if NBC uses this angle as a "dead money/cinderella story."

Re: National Heads Up Poker Championship
Ted Forrest pushes all in against Miami John Cernuto on a ragged flop showing three clubs. Miami John quickly calls with 10-7 suited -- he flopped a flush. Forrest reveals pocket 5s, and he is a huge underdog. But the board pairs on the turn, giving him two pair and keeping his hopes alive with a potential full house. Sure enough, a 5 hits on the river, giving him the full house he needed to defeat Miami John's flush. Miami John Cernuto is eliminated, and Ted Forrest advances to Round 2, where he will face Josh Arieh.
-- Live poker is rigged!

Re: National Heads Up Poker Championship
Is it me or is Card Player doing a horrible job with the "Live Updates"? I've read the same headline involving Forrest vs. Cernuto for the past half hour at least.

If they released an unedited version on DVD I would buy it in a heartbeat. That many maches would be amazing. I hope to god they dont screw this one up. Have they listed the blind structure any where? I assume they will be given a lot of chips to play with... [/ QUOTE ] I would pay a ton for an unedited DVD box set of this tournament.
