National Heads-Up Poker Championship | Season 9 (2025) | Episode 1

The National Heads-Up Poker Championship is BACK! Last run in 2013 with Mike Matusow defeating Phil Hellmuth, the iconic poker show is on PokerGO with a 64-player field and a $500,000 first-place prize awaiting the winner. The field is divided into four brackets: spades, hearts, diamonds, and clubs, and the show begins with the Diamonds bracket. The headlining matches include defending WSOP Main Event and Poker Hall of Famer Michael Mizrachi taking on Randy "3Coin" Sadler, while a true test of tournament and cash game players is tested with Shaun Deeb facing Alan Keating. Other Diamond bracket matches include Hollywood actor Kevin Pollak versus Liv Boeree, 2003 WSOP Main Event winner Chris Moneymaker facing Igor Kurganov, Doug Polk taking on Xuan Liu, Dan Cates versus Chalie Hook, Victoria Livschitz facing David Williams, and PokerGO Owner Cary Katz battling against Josh Arieh.
