Published on January 18th, 2013 3:33 pm EST

National Heads-Up Poker Championship - Caesars Palace - Las Vegas - NevadaThe full list of the 64 invitees to the 2013 National Heads-Up Poker Championship was circulated earlier this morning. The event, which will be held at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, will run from January 24th to January 26th. The draw party will be held on January 23rd at Cleopatra's Barge in Caesars Palace.

The list contains many of poker's biggest names, including the likes of Daniel Negreanu, Phil Ivey and Tom Dwan. In addition, players such as Viktor "Isildur1" Blom, Phil "OMGClayAiken" Galfond and Bertrand "Elky" Grospellier have also received invitations.

A couple of former winners of this event will not be participating this year, as both Annie Duke and Chris "Jesus" Ferguson are not on the list of invitees. Annie Duke won the event in 2010, while Ferguson won in 2008. Both players are not exactly darlings of the poker community right now.
