Spoiler – Who Won NBC Heads Up Poker Championship?

I won’t name the player in this post, in case you want to wait and watch the NBC televised Heads Up Poker Championship and be surprised, but the winner is….XXXXXX.

I will tell you this much, the winning player almost didn’t even play in this event. When Phil Hellmuth was unable to play in the NBC event due to prior commitments, this player was offered a seat…and made the most of the opportunity.

Heads up poker is really poker in its purest form. Other than going really deep in a big tournament, I can honestly say that poker is the most fun, the most exciting, when played in heads up sit and go tournaments settings. These heads up SNG tourneys are also excellent training for those times when you do make it to the final table in a big tournament.
