Poker heads-up duel is when at the end of a poker tournament only two players remain in the competition and they are both very highly skilled in both knowledge and experience. The heads-up play will continue until one player has won all the chips on the table.
The World Heads-Up Poker Championship is held every year since 2001 across Europe. This successful tournament, launched on NBC in the United States, the National Heads-Up Poker Championship competition, which only invited players, can participate.
The goal is to win in six games in order to become the champion. The first round is to be distributed by all of the players against each other. There are four groups, which are : spades, hearts, diamonds and clubs. Winners of the semifinal between the groups formed compete against each other till there are only two left. The two finalists are competing to be the champion, who has two wins in the duel against another player.
