This past week, High Stakes Poker returned for the first time since 2011, on PokerGo. Also on PokerGo, new episodes of Poker After Dark, another popular show during the poker boom era, aired.

But we’re still missing the reboot of one show that the poker community loved a decade ago — the National Heads-Up Poker Championship on NBC. The show aired from 2005-2013, and pitted 64 of the most famous poker players in the world in a $25,000 buy-in eight-round tournament.
