National Heads-Up Poker Championship Players Set

[PiquetteAces]

I think René Angelil is one of the biggest black'jack player at the Ceasars. If it's the ceasars who decide what will be the lineup, choosing René is a nice way to reward such a customer !

It appears she's played a ton of tournaments starting in late 2004. 580k, once you subtract buyins over that time period, isn't that much. I would guess she only made in the 10s of thousands, and wouldn't be surprised if she broke even/lost money.

15th on all time women's list is just a testament to how few good/successful female tournament players there are. Wow, final tabled WCOOP horse event!!!!!

It's funny how the "true" poker world shifts and changes so fast, but for these types of events which are supposed to be a selection of the best the poker world has, it seems like it's not very fluid, i.e. only Antonius and kinda Benyamine are from the new guard of expert players. The rest of the lineup is mostly the same I would have expected if they played this in 2004. Looks like Howard Lederer, Cyndy Violette etc. are going to be invited to these sorts of things til kingdom come.

This is why this is in no way shape or form a national championship. This field is lamer than the celebrity pro/am equalizer.
