The National Heads-Up Poker Championship returns for its ninth season, with PokerGO Studio hosting the 2025 edition. Defending 2013 champion Mike Matusow headlines the 64-player field, joined by 2011 champion Erik Seidel—one of only three players, along with David Williams and 2011 runner-up Chris Moneymaker, to compete in every edition. The lineup also features professionals Jason Koon, Maria Konnikova, Andrew Robl, Phil Galfond, Phil Laak, Brian Rast, Chino Rheem, Josh Arieh, Dan Cates, Doug Polk, Shaun Deeb, Stephen Chidwick, Scott Seiver, and Kristen Foxen. Outside the pro circuit, entrepreneurs Jason Calacanis and Vinny Langham headline a celebrity roster that includes actor Kevin Pollak, BMX legend and MTV host TJ Lavin, and Hollywood producer Dylan Flashner. Pro Football Hall of Famer and three-time Super Bowl champion Richard Seymour will also take his shot at adding yet another trophy to his collection.
