March 4 to 6 will be in the diaries of many poker fans following the announcement of the date and venue for the next National Heads Up Poker Championship, scheduled for Caesar’s Palace in Las Vegas, where spanking new facilities have been completed.
One of the most popular poker events in 2005, the championship was won last year by Phil Hellmuth who will be back defending his title.. The tournament, which was held at the Golden Nugget in Las Vegas and broadcast on NBC in May, brought sixty four of the greatest names in the game together to determine the best heads up player in the world.
Many will remember the epic showdown in the final tournament, which was won 2-1 by former World Champion Phil Hellmuth in a tense tussle with another former World Champion, Chris “Jesus” Ferguson.
