It was fine timing by the powers that be who run the National Heads-Up Poker Championship. Here in the states, fans are starting to pick up their NCAA College brackets not long after they a field 64 poker players ran through their own tournament bracket. It could not have been easy to narrow so many top players down to just 64, and I’m sure there were some players who felt passed over, but you can’t argue with too many of the selections.

Huck Seed continued the Full Tilt domination of this event since it’s creation. Seed defeated Vanessa Rousso 2-0 in the Championship match to make it the third year in a row a Full Tilt pro has lifted the trophy, joining Paul Wasicka (2007) and Chris Ferguson (2008). Ferguson also made the final match in 2005 and 2006.
For fantastic play-by-play along the action, Full Tilt blogger Michael Craig was there for all the action. It’s worth your time to go through the archives.
