NBC’s 2008 National Heads-Up Poker Championship Invitee List Completed
January 25, 2008
The field will be capped at 64 players, and with a buyin of $20,000, players will be battling it out for the $500,000 first-place prize. The event will begin on February 28th, 2008, and will last 3 days. The NBC telecast is yet to be decided.
The completed list includes an eclectic mix of poker players, many of whom have honed their skills in live games or in the online world. Many of the most recent WSOP Main Event champions have received invites (minus Carlos Mortenson), as have some of the most feared online poker players in the world (ie Brian ’sbrugby’ Townsend and Tom ‘durrrr’ Dwan). Four special qualifiers will also be announced before the event begins.
