Heads-up tournaments are perhaps the greatest single test of poker skill.

As the name suggests, these tournaments involve two players going head to head until one of them is out of chips. Winners of each round move up until only the final two are left to play it out for the big prize.
If 64 players register for a heads-up tournament, the first round will consist of 32 head-to-head match-ups which will then deliver 32 winners who will contest the next round. The field continues to thin until a champion is crowned!
