Wicked Chops Poker has confirmed that NBC will not hold their popular National Heads-Up Poker Championship in 2012.
We can’t say that this is surprising news, as PokerStars and Full Tilt Poker were the primary advertisers for the event and fronted the majority of buy-in money for the players. Still, it’s yet another blow for the poker industry in the U.S.. Averaging a 1.5 rating over its seven-year run, the NBC National Heads-Up Poker Championship was consistently the game’s top rated program.
