The schedule for the second week of the Global Poker League is out with the highlight being the impending heads-up clash between San Francisco Rush’s Phil Galfond and New York Rounders’ Jason Mercier.

Ok, I have to admit. I was wrong.

When I reviewed Day 1 of the Global Poker League (GPL), I doubted that poker could elicit the emotion, excitement, and elevation necessary to turn poker from a game played in smoke filled, french fry chomping casino halls, to the largest eSports arenas in the world.
