Full Tilt Poker and PokerStars were major sponsors and advertisers for the tournament, shelling out the hefty $20,000 buy-in for the majority of the sponsored pros. With the removal of those top two poker sites from the U.S. market in April's Black Friday debacle, it comes as no surprise that PokerStars would elect to discontinue promoting poker on American TV.
It is not certain if the heads-up championship will return in following years. Adam Freifeld, NBC Sports Senior Director of Communications, said that NBC will 'continue to evaluate our poker programming.' Much depends, of course, on when legislation will be approved that would permit online poker to be played again in the U.S.
The heads-up tourney made its debut in 2005, with Phil Hellmuth capturing the championship. In following years, the winner's circle has been graced with the likes of Annie Duke, Chris 'Jesus' Ferguson and last year's champ, Erik Seidel. Duke is currently one of the 2011 candidates for inclusion in the Poker Hall of Fame, with this year's inductees scheduled to be announced at the World Series of Poker Main Event Final Table in November. Seidel was inducted into the prestigious poker club in 2010. Ferguson has recently been making news as one of the board of directors of Full Tilt Poker who was charged with fraud and money laundering.
The National Heads-Up Poker Championship was the very first poker event to be produced and televised by a major U.S. television network. The tournament was patterned after the NCAA's popular basketball championship held yearly in March in which 64 teams are seeded to play single-elimination contests with the winner advancing to the next round until one team is left standing and declared the winner.
The cancelled poker tournament joins two other poker-playing TV shows that recently bit the dust as a result of the U.S. crackdown on online poker. The Big Game, a FOX-TV production sponsored by PokerStars and NBC's Poker After Dark, which was a Full Tilt-sponsored show, are also no longer being aired. However, ESPN has recently inked a contract with the World Series of Poker to televise poker tournaments through the year 2017.

The National Championship topped off the 2012-13 WSOP Circuit season, with a total of 100 players winning their entry by either capturing a circuit main event title, being the casino champion at one of the stops or by making the top 60 of the circuit leader board. With a $1,000,000 added for those players free of charge, members of the the WSOP Player of the Year top 100 were also able to play, but they had to buy-in for $10,000, which would be added to the prize pool. All 100 qualifiers took their seats, and 27 players opted to buy-in, building a total prize pool of $1,270,000.
