NBC recently updated the broadcast schedule for its fourth annual National Heads-Up Poker Championship.

Coverage of the event begins Sunday and will include action from all three days of the event, eventually won by Chris Ferguson against Andy Bloch in the best-of-three final.

According to pokerpages.com:

The Championship was full of surprises from the beginning, as reported on NBC’s site, with first round upsets including 2007 NHPC champion Paul Wasicka losing to Freddy Deeb; “Poker Brat” Phil Hellmuth going all in with pocket aces, and losing, against online poker phenomenon Tom Dwan on the third hand; and Shannon Elizabeth, the Cinderella story of last year’s tournament, getting knocked out by Bloch. Other poker heavyweights eliminated in the first round were Howard Lederer, Daniel Negreanu, and 2007 NHPC runner-up Chad Brown.

Whole thing here, which includes times and air dates for all episodes.

The final is scheduled to be aired May 18.
