National Heads Up Poker Championship 2011 Episode 1 - 1/3

The idea for the tournament was spawned from the success of the World Heads-Up Poker Championship[citation needed], held annually in at various locations in Europe, 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 Heads-Up Poker Championship is an open event with a maximum participation of 128 players.
