The idea for the tournament was spawned from the success of the World Heads-Up Poker Championship[citation needed], held annually in at various locations in Europe, although only one World Heads-Up Champion (“Miami” John Cernuto) has competed in the National Heads-Up Poker Championship to date. The National Heads-Up Poker Championship is an invitation-only event. In contrast, the World Heads-Up Poker Championship is an open event with a maximum participation of 128 players. The program’s debut was conceived as NBC’s NHL Lockout replacement programming in 2005 after the network had lost an entire season because of the lockout, and was looking for replacement programming on weekends to fill up time, and to take advantage of the trend in poker programming.[citation needed] The 2005 event took place at the Golden Nugget Las Vegas between March 4 and March 6. It aired weekly on NBC from May 1 to May 22 with commentary from Gabe Kaplan and Matt Vasgersian. The 2006 edition took place from March 4 to 6 at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. NBC began its coverage by broadcasting one part of the opening round on April 16. The semi-final and championship matches aired May 21. Kaplan and Vasgersian returned as commentators. The 2007 edition was broadcast from April 8 to May 20. Ali Nejad took Gabe Kaplan’s spot as commentator due to Kaplan competing in the tournament.
