2009 National Heads-Up Poker Championship
Some of the best poker players in the world invade Las Vegas this weekend with bragging rights and $500,000.00 on the line. In its fifth year, the National Heads-Up Poker Championship pits 64 of the top poker players against each other in single elimination heads-up matches. Set up just like a March Madness bracket, the goal is the same: survive and advance.
For the first time ever, Sportsbook.com is offering odds on this one-of-a-kind event. Not only will Sportsbook.com members be able to wager on the outright winner, but there are plenty of ‘who lasts longer' match-ups to choose from as well. Some intriguing match-ups include:

Can Chris "Jesus" Ferguson (+2200) repeat as Champion? Will the "Poker Brat" Phil Hellmuth (+3000) win his second Heads-Up Championship? Will former MLB pitcher Orel Hershiser (+10000) make another deep run?
