Huck Seed Wins Canadian Open Heads-Up Match
Huck Seed, the 1996 WSOP Main Event champion, has done very well in the NBC Heads Up Championship, finishing third in the 2008 installment.

The event, which took place at Calgary's Deerfoot Inn & Casino in the province of Alberta, featured 64 players. The prize pool was $290,160.
