The National Heads-Up Poker Championship is an annual poker tournament held in the United States and produced by the NBC television network.^[1] It is a $20,000 buy-in invitation-only tournament^[2] organized as a series of one-on-one games of no limit hold'em matches. The participants include many of the world's best poker players.

The championship was the first to be televised on a major U.S. broadcast network and the first to be produced by a television network.^[1]

[edit] Structure

The single-elimination tournament is modeled after college basketball tournaments. Players who win a match advance to the next round; the player who wins six matches is crowned champion.

The first round is seeded randomly the night before the tournament begins. Players are divided into four brackets – Clubs, Diamonds, Hearts, and Spades – and advance by winning a heads-up match against their randomly drawn opponent. The structure of the brackets then determines every match thereafter. The semifinals are comprised of one player from each bracket, with the winner of the Spades bracket playing the winner of the Clubs bracket, and the winner of the Hearts bracket matched up against the winner of the Diamonds bracket. A best-of-three final match then determines which of the two finalists is crowned champion.

[edit] Brief history

This section needs copy editing for grammar, style, cohesion, tone or spelling. You can assist by editing it now. A how-to guide is available. (May 2008)

The idea for the tournament was spawned from the success of the World Heads-Up Poker Championship^{[citation needed]}, held annually in Barcelona, although only one World Heads-Up Champion ("Miami" John Cernuto) has competed in the National Heads-Up Poker Championship to date. The National Heads-Up Poker Championship is an invitation-only event. In contrast, the World Headsup Poker Championship is an open event with a maximum participation of 128 players.

The program's debut was conceived as NBC's NHL Lockout Replacement programming in 2005 after the network had lost an entire season because of the lockout, and was looking for replacement programming on weekends to fill up time, and to take advantage of the trend in poker programming.

The 2005 event took place at the Golden Nugget Las Vegas between March 4 and March 6. It aired weekly on NBC from May 1 to May 22 with commentary from Gabe Kaplan and Matt Vasgersian.

The 2006 edition took place from March 4 to 6 at Harrah's Caesars Palace on the Las Vegas Strip. NBC began its coverage by broadcasting one part of the round of 64 on April 16. The semi-final and championship matches aired May 21. Kaplan and Vasgersian returned as commentators.

The 2007 edition was broadcast from April 8 to May 20. Ali Nejad took Gabe Kaplan's spot as commentator due to Kaplan competing in the tournanment.
