Second Round of National Heads-Up Poker Championship

Over the weekend, action from the 2011 National Heads-Up Poker Championship carried on Sunday. The pairings from the opening round in Spades, Clubs, and Diamonds brackets and the field was chopped from 64 players to 32.

The second hour began with action from the Clubs bracket, where the featured pairing was Liv Boeree against “Seinfeld” actor Jason Alexander. Seated at the secondary feature table were WSOP Circuit terror Dwyte Pilgrim and Olivier Busquet. Alexander was the first elimination; he could not withstand Boeree’s hearts.

Busquet ultimately demoted the chirpy Pilgrim to the rail. Elsewhere in the makeshift Caesars Palace poker room, Ted Forrest was bounced for an open-ender against Jason Mercier. Meanwhile, EPT Grand Final winner Nicolas Chouity moved all-in pre-flop with pocket jacks against Victory Poker pro Antonio Esfandiari. Finally, reigning WSOP Main Event winner Jonathan Duhamel also made the cut.
