So the National Heads-Up Poker Championship is coming back and will be on Peacock and PokerGO later this year. They have the old shows posted on PokerGO, so I watched the first episode from 2005. It's notable how many players from that time are now dead:
Doyle Brunson
Chip Reese
Mike Sexton
Curtis Bibb
Amir Vahedi
Layne Flack
Henry Orenstein
Jerry Buss
Rene Angelil
Also, a lot of the other players have totally disappeared from the poker world.
--(also from 2005, PokerGO has Todd Druff Witteles' WSOP Limit final table, which is "entertaining.")
Here is the 2005 Heads Up episode 1 on YouTube:
