First up is probably the most famous heads up battle of them all – Chris Moneymaker versus Sammy Farha. The pair will meet again in a televised best of three contest and will start with the exact same stacks (Moneymaker 5,490,000 and Farha 2,900,000) they had at the beginning of their 2003 heads up battle. The stacks will be reversed for the second match before reverting to even should a decisive third match be required.The second match on the ledger is another good 'un and features Phil Hellmuth against Johnny Chan. This contest will be a single winner takes all affair with each player starting with the same number of chips.The third and final match will be one of the following:1988: Johnny Chan vs Erik Seidel2004: Greg Raymer vs David Williams2006: Jamie Gold vs Paul Wasicka2010: Jonathan Duhamel vs John Racener The decision will be made by visitors to the WSOP Facebook page.
