Heads-Up Invitees announced
I'm back from vacation and absolutely swamped! If you've emailed me over the past 10 days or so I've been out of the office and it might be a while before I can answer. But one email that did catch my eye was from our friend on the inside at Poker PROductions, Dennis Oehring. No, they haven't extended Scott and me an invitation to play on Poker After Dark just yet, but he did send me a link to those who have been invited to play this year in the NBC National Heads-Up Championship. Again, my name is not on this list for some reason, but I'm working in it. Here is the link, and remember, they are only invited. There's no guarantee they accepted or will be playing. Notice Jerry Yang's name on there. I'd love to see him play in this and watch him shove with J8 again.
I also asked Dennis about Shana's departure from PAD to see what the deal is and I'm waiting for a response. Never hurts to try, and maybe he'll tell me if she's still doing the Heads-Up show.

Christopher Cosenza is co-host of the longest running poker podcast on the planet, Ante Up! He started playing poker seriously in 2003 and his favorite players are Phil Ivey and Kenna James, though he tends to act like Phil Hellmuth if you make a bad play against him.
Scott Long, Ante Up!'s other co-host, is the author of the monthly Bet on It column in tbt*. He began gambling way too young (don't tell the fuzz!) and in the seventh grade, named his state "Gambleland" for a school project (State Animal? Loan shark, of course).
Why would you want to be on Poker After Dark without Shauna? It would be like starring in Police Academy 6, without Steve Guttenberg.

Hey all,
I am a little disappointed that I didn't make the list though as it would be a great opportunity to work on my head's up skills which is a weak part of my game. I also need the TV time so I can pull down a Full Tilt sponsorship.
I would also like to the opportunity to ask Shannon Elizabeth out and that would be a great time to do so. The more I think about it, that would be a perfect event for me. Maybe I'll make the second cut........ Does anyone have Maury's cell phone number? I could send him a text to get started.
