Day 2 Concludes; Quarterfinals Set
* Phil Hellmuth got revenge against Tom 'durrrr' Dwan, earning a spot in the quarterfinals
* Last-minute substitute David Oppenheim got past both Phil Laak and Kenny Tran to earn his spot in the quarters, meaning he now has a 1-in-8 shot to win it all. 24 hours before the cards were in the air on Friday, he wasn't even a twinkle in producer Mori Eskandani's eye.
* Huck Seed became the first and only player in NBC Heads-Up history to have cashed in all five seasons since the show's inception in 2005. Scott Fischman's streak of four straight was ended by David Williams in the Round of 32.
* Daniel Negreanu showed up for his match against Scotty Nguyen dressed as... Scotty Nguyen.
