Orel Hershiser is the only "amatuer" left in this year’s field, but he has certainly not played like one. The former Major League Baseball great has played solid poker on his way to today’s quarterfinal match-up.

Throughout the tournament he has collected signatures from his fallen foes on what we've deemed his "game balls." Today he hopes to add three more signatures and a Heads-Up Championship bracelet to his trophy case in the process.

When not playing cards, Hershiser serves as a TV analyst for Baseball Tonight.

Orel's road to the quarterfinals:

Round of 64: def. Ted Forrest

Round of 32: def. Allen Cunningham

Round of 16: def. Freddy Deeb
