NBC’s National Heads-Up Poker Championship is returning back to Caesars Palace in Las Vegas March 4-7 for what will be the sixth season of their poker who’s who all-star extravaganza happy, happy fun hour of lazy afternoon television. A total of 64 players will be competing in the single-elimination bracket tournament and their share of $1,500,000. The final two will then move on to compete in a two-out-of-three match, vying for the top prize of $500,000 and bragging rights amidst some of the best names in the game.

Pro Huckleberry Seed was last year’s winner, becoming the only player to cash in all five season’s of the show’s existence. Previous winners include Chris “Jesus” Ferguson, Phil “I’m A Douche” Hellmuth, Ted “Two Rs” Forrest, and Paul “I Have Nothing Witty To Say About Him” Wasicka.

The event will be hosted by the legs and chest of Leeann Tweeden, followed alongside the unwitty banalities of announcers Craig Hummer and Ali Nejad, as they drive the play-by-play commentating straight into an underpass support beam. GoDaddy.com will be sponsoring the car crash, staining the event’s prestige with its legacy of horrible Super Bowl commercials and misrepresentation of the male demographic.

The taping will be cut down to six episodes to run on consecutive Sundays through the following dates and times:
