Flipchip Photo Gallery 2008 Heads-Up Tournament

2008 NBC National Heads-Up Poker Championship
Baseball star Orel Hershiser with trophy case


Orel Hershiser was all the talk at this year's NBC National Heads-Up Poker Tournament just completed at Caesars Palace Las Vegas. Gathering a crowd of admiriing fans where ever he roamed the baseball legend brought along his portable trophy case to the tables. He had each of the three opponents he defeated - Ted Forrest, Allen Cunningham, Freddy Deeb - sign a baseball that was proudly displayed and probably served as an intimidation factor. Unfortunately for Orel, the past performance display didn't affect Andy Bloch in match 4 as he took all of the chips and the win. Andy also received a baseball signed by Hershiser.

Flipchip offers some of his favorite photos from the three days of big time poker entertainment. You can catch all the action in the seven part mini-series scheduled for seven consecutive Sundays beginning in April on the NBC Television Network. Check your local TV listings for times and dates.
