Time To Prepare Your P-P-P-Poker Face

The most revered heads-up poker tournament is returning to Vegas next month. On March 4, 64 of the world's top poker players will be in the Caesars Palace Poker Tournament Room to compete in the bracket-style, head-to-head format in hopes of wining the $1.5 million in combined prize money.

The National Heads-Up Poker Championship consists of some of the most talented poker players competing in a series of one-on-one matches of No Limit Texas Hold'em matches with the unique, single-elimination format inspired by the NCAA basketball's championship tournament. The only difference is that for Heads-Up, the finals are best of three. The first-place winner is rewarded with half a million dollars while second-place goes home with $250,000. Not too shabby, if you ask me.

Brady/Bundchen Lawsuit

NFL star, Tom Brady, and supermodel wife, Gisele Bundchen are being sued by photographers after the claim that the couple’s bodyguards shot at them during their April wedding reception in Costa Rica. My question is, why bring it up now?

News agency, Agence France Presse and two photographers are seeking $1 million in damages after they claim, that “Brady and Bundchen negligently hired and trained the security team, and that they permitted the hired muscle to ‘discharge firearms with intent to kill or wound,’” reports NBC Sports. OK Magazine reports one of the photogs claims he “managed to run off and escape,” while the other claims he was “grabbed by the bodyguard, his arm twisted behind him and immobilized.”
