Heads Up Players Asked the $640,000 Question
After three days of heads-up poker action between some of the top players in the world, Bill Edler was crowned champion of the Poker Netcast Heads Up Challenge in California.
64 of the most successful poker players in the world including Daniel Negreanu and Mike Mizrachi battled it out at the Crystal Casino for a $640,000 pool.
Edler withstood the pressure to take down the $215,000 first prize, trophy, and gift package, defeating the ‘Robin Hood of Poker’ Barry Greenstein in the final heads-up. The win comes on the back of a successful Borgata Winter Open for Edler, where he came away $150,000 richer over the festival.
Crystal Casino President Mark Kelegian said 'We were pleased to host such a high profile event at Crystal and excited by the overwhelming response from the pros to the new look and feel of our casino. We believe the new gaming experience we have created at Crystal is on par with our other Southern California gaming properties and will quickly reclaim its position as a favorite place for all poker players.'
