The third annual National Heads-Up Championship has come to a close. A great line-up of poker players went head to head at Ceasars Palace in Las Vegas this weekend and after the smoke had cleared Paul Wasicka was the last man standing.

The last year has been great to Paul Wasicka. Few had probably heard about Paul before he finished second in the World Series of Poker Main Event 2006, taking home over $6 million. He also finished in the money in two other events during last years WSOP. After that he has been seen in the fabulous TV-show High Stakes. And now he has finally proved once and for all that he is no one hit wonder – beating some of the best players in the world in no-limit Texas holdembecoming the new Heads-Up Champion.
Wasicka brought home $500,000 after beating Chad Brown in the final match. On the way to his final victory he also beat Joe Hachem, T.J.
Cloutier, Name Lee, and one of my personal favourites – Shannon Elisabeth. I think this will definitely be Wasicka’s year and will not be surprised if he managed to go far in this years WSOP as well.

So watch out for former bartender from Texas. He has only been playing for two years and will only be getting better.
