NBC Heads-Up Poker Championship Bracket
Battle of the Podcast Stars.
The 64-player field competing for $500,000 (on a $20k buy-in) this weekend has been set (up) — with pairings drawn last night at a kick-off party at Pure.
Click here to see the full bracket and make your picks. (This bracket-maker is kinda new to me, so not sure whether or not you can see my predictions here.)
Some of the more interesting pairings to me:
Tom Schneider vs. Gavin Smith
Clonie Gowen vs. Jennifer Tilly
Sammy Farha vs. Doyle Brunson
Hooman Nikzad vs. Greg Raymer
Chris Ferguson vs. John Juanda
Chris Moneymaker vs. Jerry Yang
Jean Robert Bellande vs. Sam Grizzle

Can’t see your predictions without signing in… But the bracket itself is great! I printed it out so I can follow along today. (I’m a nerd, I know.)

Look for an “ALL-IN” and “INSTANT CALL” on the first hand with Moneymaker and Yang

Go ahead and sign up. You know how loathe I am to create new logins for myself, but I did it for this one and have not regretted it yet.
This way you can make predictions as well and, I think, we can compete against each other.
I don’t think I’m giving too much away by saying I have Phil Hellmuth beating Tom Schneider, and my final four looks like:
Bill Edler d. Hooman Nikzad
Howard Lederer d. Freddy Deeb
Lederer d. Edler

Is Tom wearing a Full Tilt badge in that photo???

Yes indeed. He’s been brought up from the practice squad.

Well dammit, the guy I picked to win it all is out in the first round. Clearly rigged.
