2005 Champ Ready for a Repeat? Phil Hellmuth and NBC National Heads-Up Return to Prime Time


The 2006 NBC National Heads-Up Poker Championship is under way at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. The 2005 event, which crowned Phil Hellmuth the champion and made him $500,000 richer, brought poker to network television. Sixty-four elite players faced off one-on-one in the innovative single-elimination tournament. The players, separated into four brackets (clubs, spades, diamonds, and hearts), battled it out one match at a time until two players were left to play a best-of-three-games match.
