National Heads Up Poker Championship

Anybody watching this? It is on CNBC. I just happened to catch it. It looks interesting.

I think a lot of people are watching it. The show got a great rating on NBC, considering its time slot and minimal advertising. Plus, show 1 is arguably the weakest of the group. It really gets better as it moves along.

Shows 2 and 3 are this weekend: 330PM EST on Saturday and 12:00PM EST on Sunday.

Phillips/Hellmuth on Sunday is must-see TV.

How do you know who is playing on any given episode, and where can I find out? Thanks.

Horrible program....TOO MANY commercials, not nearly enough actual poker hands and too much fluff...thank gawd for DVRs, took all of about 20 minutes to watch the entire show [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I know because I worked on the show, but you could figure it out too.

Episode 2: completion of Round 1, so all the other Round 1 matches will be aired

Episode 3 (Sun, May 8): Round of 32. Phillips and Hellmuth played that round and it was a featured table.

Episode 4 (Sun, May 15): Round of 16.

Episode 5 (Sat, May 21): Round of 8.

Episode 6 (Sun, May 22): Semis and Finals. Two hour show.

If you know how the brackets went, you can know who will play when.

Hope this is helpful.

I disappointed we won't see any of Farha vs. Spirit Rock.
