The first day of the NBC National Poker Heads-Up Championship ends

Post by Bookmaker »

64 of poker's best poker stars are officially unveiled at the eighth NBC National Poker Heads-Up Championship, where they will play the most challenging heads-up game at this invitational tournament. After a day of competition, only 32 players advanced to the next round, and half of the players were eliminated. The co-founder of The Simpsons sent home high-roller David Oppenheim, but next he faced another top cash player, John Hennigan.

One of the most well-known heads-up players in history, Viktor "Isildur1" Blom faced his opponent, Andrew Lichtenberger. Continue to show great poker skills to advance to the next round. But his old wrongdoer, Isaac Haxton, was not so lucky. Haxton faced his opponent, Justin Bonomo, and lost in the first round.

Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier, a member of the famous PokerStars expert team, was clearly unlucky in this tournament. His pocket K was hit by Justin in the public card while ahead of rival Justin Smith's pocket Q. In the end, the "glasses man" said goodbye to this heads-up competition. Compared to the tragic performance of "Spectacle Man", his teammate Vanessa Rousso smoothly advanced to the next round

Antonio Esfandiari, a player recorded in poker history, also made it to the next round, where he faced Jennifer Tilly. However, he will face 2010 WSOP Main Event winner Jonathan Duhamel in his next match. Obviously, the meeting of the two tomorrow will start a battle between you and me.

Dan Smith, the brightest player in the field of live tournaments in 2012, also made it to the next round, winning six tournaments last year and winning a total prize pool of $3.7 million. In the next round, he will face Gaelle Baumann, the tenth player in the 2012 WSOP Main Event.

The 2009 NBC National Poker Heads-Up Champion will face Joe Serck after a victory over Mohsin Charania. Fun is another champion, 2005 NBC National Poker Heads-Up Championship winner PHil Hellmuth, who also advances to the next round. There is a historic showdown tomorrow. Poker enthusiasts must not miss the legendary Doyle Brunson facing Tom "Durrrr" Dwan, the representative of a new generation of players.
