NBC's poker tournament
 

NBC Sports plans to announce today that it will produce its own Las Vegas-based poker tournament -- a move that could be a prelude toward landing the World Series of Poker on network television.

NBC will film the National Heads-Up Poker Championship, a showdown between 64 players at the Golden Nugget in early March, just the latest in a series of new television programs aimed at capitalizing on poker's growing popularity.

Awesome
 

Sounds Really good. Do you know how they select the players who will be playing in the tournament? Does the winner take all?

Is this going to be a tourney that anyone can get in as well... or is it going to be an invite only thing?
