Huck Seed wins the NBC Head's Up Championship

This is a little late but poker pro Huck Seed took down the NBC Head's Up Championship when he defeated poker "cutie" Vanessa Rousso in two straight games (best out of three). Seed earned $500,000 and Rousso won $250,000 after defeating Doyle Brunson, Phil Ivey and Paul Wasicka on her way to the championship match.



Seed is now 18-4 in the NBC Head's Up Championship, which is the best record out of all the players.

Poker After Dark: 'Nets vs. Vets' Week

I have to admit I wish they had taken the live pros that are considered the best of the best these days (i.e. Phil Ivey, Patrik Antonius) but then it would have a different feel as they play each other online anyways.

This should be good viewing to at least see if the styles of play are vastly different between the online players and the live pros.

My money is on Huck Seed, then Johnny Chan.

The show airs at 2:05 a.m. on NBC during the weekdays and a recap on Saturday at night at 1:00 a.m.

Here's the full story.

Phil Ivey vs. Huck Seed: Go Karts

This is from 2+2er sinndar11:

Was at Pole Position Raceway last night and Huck and Phil were racing each other for about an hour. Was finishing up my race when i overheard phil saying "how about 50" and Huck saying "No, just 20 for the first one".

Huck won the 6 laps they had planned and then had another 2 more races which Huck won both.
Phil was quite frustrated as he was set to win the last but he crashed and Huck took it.

Phil then wanted double or quits but wanted to start 1/2 lap ahead and Huck didnt want to because he felt Phil would have won if he didnt crash. I think thats what they were saying as I was about 5 yards away from them. Anyway 5 mins later theyre racing with Phil 1/2 -1/3 lap ahead and phil takes it down mainly beacuse Huck crashed 2 to go.
