Who's up for a Head's Up

NBC has announced the names of 63 celebrity players and poker pros who have confirmed they will go all in for this year's National Head's Up Poker Championships.

Celebrity players will include actors Jason Alexander and Don Cheadle as well as actresses Jennifer Tilly and Shannon Elizabeth.

To mention just a few of the poker legends who will feature at the tables, Annie Duke, Bill Edler, Daniel Negreanu, Tom Schneider, Allen Cunningham, TJ Cloutier, David Benyamine, Doyle and Todd Brunson and Kenny Tran have all signed up.

Last year's World Series Of Poker (WSOP) Main Event victor Jerry Yang will also be hoping to prove his mettle at the event and secure his reputation.

The poker tourney will kick off on February 28th and in true Head's Up style, the game will not end until there is a winner.

Each player will buy in for $20,000 and the prize pool totals $500,000.

Previous National Head's Up Poker Champs who will play include Phil Hellmuth, Ted Forrest and Paul Wasicka.
