Ali vs. Frazier.

Balboa vs. Creed.

Eastgate vs. Demidov.

This latter fixture may not be the most famous rematch of all time, but in terms of entertainment it's right up there.

How it ended the first time is now part of World Series legend. In November 2008, Peter Eastgate defeated Ivan Demidov at the Main Event final table. Though Demidov had played like a champion, only one could take home the bracelet. Now, PokerStars is giving Demidov a chance to face his nemesis again, a chance to put the demons to bed. For Eastgate it's an opportunity to enjoy that feeling of triumph once more.

This Friday at 18:00 ET, both step back into the ring, the two Team PokerStars Pros facing off on PokerStars under the exact circumstances as they did back in November. Eastgate will begin with 80,300,000 chips to Demidov's 56,600,000. With blinds at 120,000 / 240,000 with a running 30,000 ante there's room for this rematch to get interesting.

While this is about a good an idea as they come, the money won't be necessarily as significant. Eastgate's $9 million is safe. This time it's just bragging rights. But then players always say the money isn't important, don't they. So bragging rights it is. Plays $10,000 donated to the charity of their choice.

So, shuffle up and deal! Or should that be seconds out, round two?

Good luck to both players.
