We\’ll be seeing the brackets for the National Heads-Up Poker Championship soon (drawing party is tomorrow) … and with some help from KevMath, I put together a list of who\’s going to be represented at the mini-tables in this made-for-TV event. The list isn\’t complete — feel free to let me know if we missed any representatives that are already settled and we\’ll update accordingly — but it does give an interesting snapshot of where things stand in the competitive online poker landscape-dot-net circa early 2010.
