National Heads-Up Poker Championship
# National Heads-Up Poker Championship

Die National Heads-Up Poker Championship war ein Pokerturnier, das von 2005 bis 2013 achtmal am Las Vegas Strip ausgetragen wurde. Jeweils 64 eingeladene Teilnehmer spielten in einer Play-off-Serie von Heads-Up-Matches.

## Geschichte

Die Idee des Turniers stammte vom erfolgreichen europäischen Pendant, der World Heads-Up Poker Championship, die zuletzt 2010 ausgetragen wurde. Die Erstausgabe der National Heads-Up Poker Championship im Jahr 2005 war zunächst nur als Lückenfüller gedacht, da der produzierende TV-Sender NBC einen Ersatz für den Ausfall der NHL-Saison 2004/05 brauchte. In Deutschland wurden die Ausgaben der Jahre 2005 und 2006 vom Fernsehsender Das Vierte übertragen und von Michael Körner kommentiert.

## Preisgeldstruktur

Die besten 16 Spieler erhielten jeweils ein Preisgeld, welches sich wie folgt verteilte:

| Erreichte Runde | Preisgeld (in $) | Preisgeld (in $) | Preisgeld (in $) |
| - | - | - | - |
| Erreichte Runde | 2005–2010 | 2011 | 2013 |
| Achtelfinale | 025.000 | 030.000 | 025.000 |
| Viertelfinale | 075.000 | 075.000 | 050.000 |
| Halbfinale | 125.000 | 125.000 | 100.000 |
| Finale | 250.000 | 300.000 | 300.000 |
| Sieger | 500.000 | 750.000 | 750.000 |
