Snub-Gate, as no one except us is calling it, has been raging on in the Twittersphere all week but as the first round of matches played out last night in Las Vegas, the conversation has begun to turn to poker.
And as the clock ticks down on Day 2 we bring you up to date by compiling the most relevant NBC Heads-Up tweets.
From Tommy Vedes' slightly disturbing dream about defeating TV-legend ALF to Jean-Robert Bellande's predictable first-round loss, we've exhausted the hashtag searches and scoured the poker Twitter lists to bring you this compendium of NBC Heads-Up communication.
My 1st round match up in the NBC HU is the great asian player Tom Dwan

— Doyle Brunson (@TexDolly) January 25, 2013I have no idea who Bruce Miller is, but he's gotta be a favorite against @brokelivingjrb right? #NBCHU
— Shane Schleger (@ShaneSchleger) January 24, 2013In not so stunning news, BJ Miller beats Jean-Robert Bellande #NBCHU (h/t @wsop)
— Kevin Mathers (@Kevmath) January 25, 2013AA<QJ in my first round match of #NBCHU against @philgalfond but I played well so nothing to be sorry about. So much love and support
— Maria Ho (@MariaHo) January 25, 2013Whatever happened to "Syracuse" Chris Tsiprailidis? (And why was he snubbed for the #NBCHU?)
— Shane Schleger (@ShaneSchleger) January 25, 2013re: NBC HU field. If you took the best 64 it would be pretty boring. You can only have so many robots. Have to add some humans.
— David Williams (@dwpoker) January 18, 2013seen a lot of talk about snubs for #NBCHU, but by a measurement of both talent and personality @therealphilbort was the biggest one imo
— Jason Somerville (@JasonSomerville) January 20, 2013Speaking of NBC HU snubs. . . Ummmmm, @prahladfriedman?????
