The World Heads Up Poker Championship 2004 was filmed at the
Gran Casino in Barcelona, over six fast and frantic days in June 2004. Heads
up poker is gladiatorial, 128 of the best poker players in the world competed for a
top prize of over £65,000, a knockout competition and the winner took all.

Each of the competitors had put up £1500 of their own money in order to compete; this is real money - their money they played with. No-limit Texas Hold'em is the name of the game, it’s fast, it’s brutal and loved by professionals and amateurs alike.
