Alternatively, heads up poker may be played on purpose, either in a cash game format, or as a SNG, where two players play a winner-take-all tournament for a fixed, previously agreed upon amount of money. On larger online poker rooms and during certain tournament series, one may stumble upon larger heads up tournaments, usually in the shoot-out format. Usually, in order to ensure the fairness of the game, all players finishing at the same level of the tournament bracket will be paid out the same amount of money, no matter what their finishing place is.

Avalanche Lake (New York)
Avalanche Lake is a 9 acre mountain lake located in the Adirondack High Peaks in New York. Avalanche Lake sits at 2885 feet (879 m) between 4,714-foot (1,437 m) Mount Colden and-3816 foot (1163 m) Avalanche Mountain. The two mountains rise in vertical cliffs from the surface of the lake. Immediately west of Avalanche Mountain (formerly known as Caribou Mountain) lies the MacIntyre Range— 5,115-foot (1,559 m) Algonquin Peak (the second highest mountain in the state), 4829-foot (1472 m) Boundary Peak, 4,843-foot (1,476 m) Iroquois Peak and 4,380-foot (1,335 m) Mount Marshall. Mount Marcy is 2.5 (4 km) miles to the east. Avalanche Lake feeds Lake Colden to the south, in the Hudson River watershed. To the north, the trail to the lake from the Adirondak Loj surmounts Avalanche Pass, which is only slightly above lake level but separates it from the Lake Champlain (St. Lawrence River) watershed. Following the lake toward Lake Colden, the trail is choked with large boulders, and a number of wooden ladders have been built to make passage possible. There are also three places where the trail takes to wooden catwalks, first built in the 1920s, that are bolted directly into the cliff face. This section is known as the "Hitch-Up Matilda;" in 1868 when a mountain guide waded to carry one of his clients past a point with no footing on shore, her husband urged her to sit higher on his shoulders.

Nanda Devi is the second highest mountain in India, and the highest located entirely within the country. (Kangchenjunga, which is higher, is on the border of India and Nepal.) It is the 23rd-highest peak in the world. It was considered the highest mountain in the world before computations in 1808 proved Dhaulagiri to be higher.

Mountain bike orienteering
Mountain bike orienteering (MTB-O or MTBO) is an orienteering endurance racing sport on a mountain bike where navigation is done along trails and tracks. Compared with foot orienteering, competitors usually are not permitted to leave the trail and track network. Navigation tactics are similar to ski-orienteering, where the major focus is route choice while navigating. The main difference compared to ski-orienteering is that navigation is done at a higher pace, because the bike can reach higher speeds. As the biker reaches higher speeds, map reading becomes more challenging.

Twee Jonge Gezellen
Twee Jonge Gezellen (TJ) is a family owned farm in the pioneer district of Tulbagh in the Western Cape, South Africa. The estate has been in the same family since 1710. Translated from Dutch, the name means Two Young Bachelors. The farm was started by two young bachelors (cousins) in 1710, and since the locals referred to the farm as "the place where the two young bachelors stay", the name stuck. However the two bachelors did not remain bachelors for long, since it is their direct descendants (the Krone family) who now run the farm and produce the wines. In September 2011 the farm was placed under provisional liquidation after it transpired that their Land Bank loan could not be repaid.

Temptation (Australian game show)
Temptation was an Australian game show which premiered on the Nine Network on 30 May 2005. Hosted by Ed Phillips and Livinia Nixon, the show was a remake of "Sale of the Century", which aired on Nine in the same timeslot for more than twenty years between 1980 and 2001. "Temptation" had the same general format of its predecessor, but with several new features and a de-emphasis on the "shopping" aspects of the endgame. The show ran until 30 November 2007, when it was placed on hiatus by the network following strong competition from game show "Deal or No Deal" on the rival Seven Network; during the hiatus, Nine filled the timeslot with episodes of the American sitcom "Two and a Half Men". When Ed Phillips made an appearance on "The NRL Footy Show" he announced "maybe summer" would be the return of the show. This statement was accurate, as "Temptation" returned for a shortened fourth series from 1 December 2008 with unaired episodes which were recorded during 2008. During that time, Ed Phillips was dumped by the Nine Network after his contract expired in November, and "Temptation" never returned to the schedule. After 23 January 2009, when the show's final episode aired, all "Temptation" websites were removed, and "Two and a Half Men" returned to Channel Nine's 7:00pm schedule.
