Heads Up: Huck Seed Versus Keith Sexton
Posted by One Angry Monkey | Filed under Heads Up
Welcome back for another round of the heart-pounding, heart-stopping, heart attack inducing action that we like to call the Full Tilt Poker Heads-Up Challenge. This week’s match is another 4 seed versus 13 seed clash, with Huckleberry “Tall, skinny, and dazed is no way to go through life” Seed taking on Keith “I might be the only person alive who thinks 7-card stud is cool” Sexton. This match should be, umm, really exciting. I can’t wait, really. I might’ve just pissed my pants a little bit I’m so stoked for this one. Let’s get it on:

Welcome back to another action-packed round of the Full Tilt Poker Heads-Up Challenge, where we take 64 of our top pros and pit them against one another in single-elimination tourney style death matches. OK, so we don’t actually get to kill anyone, but you get the idea. This week’s match is our second 4 seed versus 13 seed affair, with Paul “Second Place” Wasicka taking on Ben “I’m only a gentleman 98% of the time” Roberts.

Not all single elimination tournaments are created equal – welcome to the best. The Full Tilt Poker Heads-Up Challenge takes 64 of our top pros and pits them against one another in a Mortal Kombat style showdown to the death. OK, well not to the death, but you get the idea. There will not be blood, but there will be poker. Oh yes, there will. This week’s match is the last of our three seed versus 14 seed face-offs, with Andy “I’m a hell of a lot smarter than you” Bloch taking on JJ “Supreme fashion sense” Liu. Check out the full bracket below − on to the fight:

Heads Up: Allen Cunningham Versus Chip Jett

Welcome back to another round of the Full Tilt Poker Heads-Up Challenge. Before we get started today, I just wanted to thank The All-In-Uit for taking over Reader Mail yesterday. It was a truly noble act on her part; now let’s all just hope Patrik Antonius drops the restraining order and she finds the happiness that she deserves.
In other news, this week’s match will be a short one due to the fact that I’m now on the run from the police for a crime I was falsely accused of – I’m like The Fugitive, except I’m not as cool as Harrison Ford and I’d never let myself get pwned by a one-armed man. At any rate, this week’s match features a three seed versus 14 seed showdown, with Allen “I wish people would stop calling me Clever Piggy” Cunningham taking on Chip “Husband of Karina Jett” Jett.

Heads Up: Erick Lindgren Versus Steve Brecher
Posted by One Angry Monkey | Filed under Heads Up
It’s time for another round of the Full Tilt Poker Heads-Up Challenge, where we take 64 of our top pros and pit them against one another in a deadly game we like to call “synchronized swimming.” Or was that just a dream I had? Hard to tell. At any rate, this post is unlikely to feature any swimming whatsoever, just me drowning in my own words. This week’s match is another three seed versus 14 seed affair, with Erick “I’m probably cooler than you are” Lindgren taking on Steve “I wear my sunglasses at night” Brecher. You can check out the full bracket below, let’s get ready to rumble:

Welcome back to another round of the Full Tilt Poker Heads-Up Challenge, where we throw 64 of our top pros into the ring for some WWE style madness (editors note: while these “matches” are not fixed like wrestling, they are completely made up and have no baring on reality whatsoever – enjoy!). This week’s cage match is a three seed versus 14 seed affair, as Erik “I thought Chan was bluffing” Seidel takes on Brad “I come from C-eh-N-eh-D-eh” Booth. Let the mayhem commence:

Heads Up: Gus Hansen Versus Beth Shak
Posted by One Angry Monkey | Filed under Heads Up
Another week means another round of the Full Tilt Poker Heads-Up Challenge is set to commence. Sure, the National Heads-Up Championship just took place and “March Madness” is about to tip off today (my money is on Boise State – go Broncos!), but I still say that we’re the best and most exciting single elimination tourney around. Today’s bout is the last of our two versus 15 matchups, with Gus “The Wilt Chamberlain of Poker” Hansen taking on Beth “I can do a lot of things with poker chips (wink, wink)” Shak. Check out the full bracket below, on to the showdown:

Heads Up: John Juanda Versus Lynette Chan
Posted by One Angry Monkey | Filed under Heads Up
Who else is super pumped up for this one? I’m so excited that I can barely contain myself. Really – I am. This week’s edition of the Full Tilt Poker Heads-Up Challenge features our third 2 versus 15 match up as John “It’s probably a good thing I stopped selling Bibles door-to-door” Juanda takes on Lynette “At least I have my good looks to fall back on” Chan. My gut is telling me this one might be a blow out, but stranger things have happened. On to the madness and mayhem:

Posted by One Angry Monkey | Filed under Heads Up
Welcome back to another round of the Full Tilt Poker Heads-Up Challenge. This week we have another 2 versus 15 match-up as Phil “If I have to announce another stupid celebrity poker tournament I’m going to kill myself” Gordon takes on Kristy “My ex-husband can’t kick a football” Gazes. After our first big upset in the challenge last week the only question is, will history repeat itself? Only time will tell. And me. Because I write these and get to decide…
At any rate, you can check out the full bracket below. On to the match:

Posted by One Angry Monkey | Filed under Heads Up
Welcome back to another round of the Full Tilt Poker Heads-Up Challenge, where we take 64 of our top pros and pit them against one another like abused dogs picked up off the street by Michael Vick. This week’s match features number one seed Howard “The Professor” Lederer taking on the 16 seed Karina Jett. Can you say mismatch? Oh well, let’s just get this formality out of the way so we can move on to greener pastures.
