The list of the player is filled with the best players from all around the world, some of them are regular participants of the National Heads-Up Poker Championship series, others are newcomers to the tournament. Annie Duke was last year's winner, and she'll be there again to defend her title. Daniel Negreanu, her biggest "enemy" will also be there, if the two meet at a heads-up table, that could bring about some heated action.

They are not the only "couple" to have a disagreement, both John Racener and Sorel Mizzi are in the field, who got into a disagreement as we wrote a few days ago; Racener accused Mizzi with cheating at Chinese poker at the PCA.
