Poker double elimination

Double elimination tournaments have the problem that the Loser's bracket needs to proceed twice as fast as the winners bracket, that is, two rounds of losers to one winners. However, for poker, this is not a problem, as the Winner's bracket can proceed heads up, and the Loser's can proceed 4 to a table. Heads up play is preferable because it prevents collusion between players.
