After starting 2011 quite well, Erik Seidel does even better now and wins the NBC Heads-Up Championship. After winning $3.6 million in January and February 2011, Seidel got another $750,000 yesterday, while beating Chris Moneymaker, which took home $300,000.

The NBC Heads-Up Championship began on Friday in Las Vegas, at Caesars Palace and there were 64 players in total at the beginning. One of the surprises of the first rounds was Phil Ivey, which was defeated by Daniel Cates (Jungleman12).

Thanks to this win, Seidel is now the top dog on the All Time Money List, with a total of $14,697,297. Previously, Daniel Negreanu was at the top of that list.
