STAR CAST FOR THE NEXT NATIONAL HEADS UP POKER
CHAMPS
22 February 2008
63 top players to compete in 2008 edition
In the United States, the NBC network has released the
names of 63 players who have confirmed they will be
appearing to compete in the 2008 edition of the National
Heads Up Poker Championships. In a list that reads like
a who's who of international poker, all the previous
heads-up champs are featured, including Phil Hellmuth,
Ted Forrest and Paul Wasicka.
Pokerstars will be offering a seat for contestants to
vye for in online satellites.
Internet players of note are scattered throughout the
list, such as Scott "BigRiskky" Clements, Tom "durrr"
Dwan, Daniel "Rekrul" Schreiber and Brian "sbrugby"
Townsend, Patrik Antonius, and the celebrity players are
well represented too, with Gabe Kaplan, Jason Alexander,
Don Cheadle, Jennifer Tilly, Shannon Elizabeth and
Shannon Elizabeth all appearing at the tables.
Jerry Yang, the winner of last year's nailbiting World
Series of Poker main event winner Jerry Yang in on the
list, as are respected global players like Annie Duke,
Bill Edler, Daniel Negreanu, Sam Grizzle, Tom Schneider,
Allen Cunningham, Andy Bloch, TJ Cloutier, David
Benyamine, Doyle and Todd Brunson and Kenny Tran.
Changes for the field are still possible due to
emergency or last minute scheduling conflict but that is
unlikely.
The big event starts on February 28 2008 and will
continue for the next three days until there is a
winner. The drawing party will start at 9:30 p.m. and
the buy-in for each player has been set at $20 000 for
the opportunity of taking down the main prize of $500
000 and the bragging rights for being top of an
extraordinarily talented list of poker players.
