Tom Dwan Draws Doug Polk in 1st Round of $25K WPT HU Championship

High-stakes heads-up battles roar on but this time it isn't a grudge match or prop betting as much as it is to see 32 players pony up $25,000 to compete in the inaugural World Poker Tour Heads Up Poker Championship on June 18-22.

The event, which takes place online at PokerKing, is already sold-out with an impressive mix of high-stakes pros, gamers, and influencers getting into the mix. The 32 players will pair off for 16 matches on June 18 with surviving players facing one match per day until the final two players battle it out for the title on June 22.
