Annie Duke, winner of the National Heads-Up Championship

Annie Duke is back at it again. Since its victory in the Tournament of Champions in 2004, Annie was unable to specify another win, although he had been around in some important events. It appears that his slump is over and that has just won the National Heads-Up Poker Championship by winning the legendary Erik Seidel . Duke has taken the trophy and the $ 500,000 dollars from the top spot .

The final round was played in tournament mode two of three. Annie won the first round and Seidel did the same in the second round . Despite the speed with which the blinds increased, the final round lasted just over an hour. In the decisive hand, the A K Seidel could not be maintained against the Q 9 Duke. A few hands later, the tournament ended when the 9 9 Annie it endured against the A 2 of his rival.
