Heads Up Poker moves to Caesers Palace
Friday, October 21, 2005
It's good to see that the 'National Heads Up Poker Championship' will be moving to Caesers Palace in 2006.The first-ever "National Heads-Up Poker Championship,"held at The Golden Nugget in Las Vegas in March this year, generated big crowds at the casino plus an average of 4 million home television viewers for each of the six telecasts. It was a great made for TV poker event.
TV audiences grew as the tournament progressed, with a total audience of six million poker fans watching the finale on May 22, when Phil 'The Brat" Hellmuth bested Chris "Jesus" Ferguson.
On Thursday March 2, 2006, a blind draw will put the pre-selected contestants into college basketball tournament-like brackets that, because of the quality of the invitational field, produce attractive match-ups between some of the best players in the world throughout the competition.
I'm not sure how they can call this the 'National' heads up poker championship when they select the participants themselves? It should just be called the NBC Invitational heads up championship, as there is nothing 'National' about it!
