Thursday 21st February 2008 63 National Heads-Up Poker Championship Names Announced
The fourth NCB National Heads-Up Poker Championships is now almost finalised. With 63 players confirmed for the competition, only one more slot remains unfilled. The competition, which has a $20,000 buy in and a $500,000 first place prize, begins on 29th February.
The 64 players will battle it out in a series of heads-up matches to find out who is the best one-on-one poker player in the world. The format is single elimination, with brackets – much like a tennis tournament. All three previous champions (Paul Wasicka, Ted Forrest and Chris ‘Jesus’ Ferguson) are participating, as will WSOP winner Jerry Yang. This will be the first televised tournament Yang has played in after his win at the Main Event last summer. Below is the complete list of confirmed entrants:
