NBC Head's Up Championship starts today

The NBC Head's Up Championship starts today at Caesar's Palace in Vegas. This event is always much-anticipated and makes for great TV viewing when it airs later in the year.

Here are some of the good match-ups in the first round:

Phil Ivey vs. Jennifer Tilly
Ted Forrest vs. Orel Hershiser (Hershiser made it deep last year)
Daniel Negreanu vs. Chris Moneymaker
Mike Matusow vs. Dario Minieri
John Juanda vs. Joe Hachem
Mike Sexton vs. Phil Hellmuth
Johnny Chan vs. Eli Elezra
Erik Lindgren vs. Howard Lederer
Allen Cunningham vs. Sam Farha
Kenny Tran vs. Antonio Esfandiari

My two favorites are Phil Ivey and Chris "Jesus" Ferguson, although it's impossible for them to meet in the final.
