The poker competition World Heads Up championship, a tournament played in the modality No Limit Holdem and one against one, took place in London since the 27 until the 31 of October at the Casino Victoria. In this occasion the winner of the championship was the Cyprus’ player Mambos Xanthos, who confronted the British James Mitchell in the final.
After two very intense semi-finals that lasted more than four hours and confronted Bambos with the Russian Victor Ilyukin and James Mitchell with Lawrence Houghton, the final wasn’t less intense and offered an incredible spectacle.
The tournament winner obtained a fantastic prize of £65.000, while James brought home £30.000 and the two semi-finalists £15.500 each, which is not bad at all for a tournament that only lasted four days.

A NEW MONTHLY TOURNAMENT
The English capital, so far worldwide known for its famous fish and chips, is about to become the European centre for all the poker lovers.
Maybe, the most famous tournament that takes place in London is the WSOP, which was celebrated quite recently and which was a total success in terms of participation and media coverage.
However, London offers many other opportunities for the poker lovers, as many poker tournaments are celebrated every day.
A good example was the tournament celebrated last weekend “Dusk Till Dawn´s 20Tuenty weekend”, which lasted two days and had a buy-in prize of 100 pounds, which was relatively accessible for everyone and explains why all the positions available were filled in no time! Taking into consideration the success of this tournament, it is not surprising that his organizers have already decided to celebrate it on a regular basis. In fact this new competition will be taking place every third weekend of each month.
The next appointment will be the 21 and 22 of November, so if you are interested in taking part, you had better book your sit now, before it is too late!
And if in this occasion you will not be able to make it, remember that there are always great tournaments available at the best online poker sites.
