Full Tilt Poker’s $25k Heads-Up Championship May 24
On May 24, 2008, Full Tilt Poker will be hosting the $25,000 buy-in Heads-Up Championship tournament. This tournament is limited to 64 players and has already drawn quite a star-studded list of entrants. Phil Ivey, Howard Lederer, Jennifer Harman and Chris Ferguson are just a few of the top pros that have registered. In addition, online phenom Tom Dwan will also be battling it out in the Full Tilt Poker tournament.
Fans of the National Heads-Up Poker Championship that has been airing recently on NBC may recognize Dwan as he played against Phil Hellmuth in the first round. On the third hand, Dwan woke up with pocket tens while Hellmuth held the coveted pocket aces. In typical aggressive-playing style, both players were all-in before the flop. Dwan hit a set on the turn and that marked the end of Hellmuth’s 2008 National Heads-Up Poker Championship bid but sent Hellmuth into the stratosphere.
Whether you plan to play in Full Tilt Poker’s $25k Heads-Up Championship or just ride the virtual rail, make sure you’re logged on for the 3:00 pm Eastern start time on Saturday, May 24, 2008. Poker Mom won’t be playing but I plan on watching!
