NBC's National Heads Up Championship Elite Eight!

Ladies & Gentlemen it's almost time for NBC's NHUC Elite Eight to get under way. They will back at it at 10:45 PST and here they are:

1. Andrew Robl vs. David Benyamine. Roble "Good2cu" had to beat former NFL star and now Full Tilt Poker Red Pro Emmitt Smith and James Bord to advance. David Benyamine just took out Michael "The Grinder" Mizrachi.
2. Vanessa Selbest vs. Erik Seidel. Selbest eliminated "OMGClayAiken" Phil Galfond in the previous round and Seidel took out another Phil in Phil Gordon.  Seidel also took down Jennifer Harman, one of the best female cash players around.
3. Olivier Busquet vs. Jonathan Duhamel. Busquet already eliminated Jason Mercier and Duhamel has taken down the likes of Esfandiari so this should be a good fought match.
4. Chris Moneymaker vs. David Oppenheim. Moneymaker is having a run-super-good streak after taking down the likes of online giant "Jungleman12" Dan Cates and everyone's favorite living legend Doyle Brunson. Meanwhile Oppenheim has already eliminated one run-good player in the like of Carlos Mortensen.

We wish them all the best!
