Heads-up poker is possibly the purest sanitization of the game, you need to play every hand, and there are chips in danger with every deal. The progenitor of the World Series of Poker was a marathon heads-up battle involving Johnny Moss and Nick “The Greek” Dandalos; one of the game’s leader showcases today is the NBC National Heads-Up Championship. Which, of course, was bested this year by Team UB’s Annie Duke, and last night UB Referral Code Annie hosted UBOC Event #5, our $1000+50 Heads-Up tournament.

Annie would not replicate her heads-up triumph–past receiving a bad luck in the first round she won her first match before being sent off in Round 3. ENDER555 would take on THEBRIMMER for the UBOC Heads-Up title and theirs was a tense UB Poker Bonus fight from start to finish. Nine hands later saw the match come to an end in a hand that seemed inoffensive on its face. And as ACEGIRL123 bested UBOC Event #6 earlier in the day that meant both UBOC titles yesterday were won by outstanding women.
