1996 World Series of Poker Champion Huck Seed has won the Main Event of the 2008 Canadian Open Poker Championships in Calgary. He defeated one of Canada’s finest poker exports, 'Yukon' Brad Booth after a grueling best of 3 match that lasted over five hours.
'This was an amazing tournament in terms of both structure and quality of players' said Seed, 'I love it when the cream rises to the top and I get a chance to play with the best in the world. I am so happy that I finally won a heads up tournament!' Seed came 3rd in this inaugural Canadian Open two years ago and has also finished 3rd the last 2 years in a row at the NBC Invitational Heads Up Event. Seed takes home $100,000 for his first place finish.
Joe Hachem, who was eliminated in the quarter final round approved of the tournament structure, 'This is by far the best heads up tournament I have ever played in and I will definitely be back next year.'
It seems that the Canadian Poker Open Championships are here to stay then!
