Hellmuth wins made-for-TV poker tournament in Las Vegas weekend poker tournament stretched into the wee hours this morning (Monday) before poker champion Phil Hellmuth defeated rival Chris Ferguson to win the inaugural National Heads-Up Poker Championship in Las Vegas.

The made-for T-V tournament was taped for telecast by N-B-C over four Sundays in May. Hellmuth's from San Francisco. He's been one of poker's most recognizable faces since becoming the youngest winner of the World Series of Poker in 1989 -- at age 24. Hellmuth got to the final table in the weekend's head-to-head Texas Hold-'Em tournament by defeating fellow San Franciscan Antonio Esfandiari. Ferguson topped T-J Cloutier.
