Holy upset, Batman!
Season VI WPT Player of the Year Jonathan Little mobilized his fans in the Round of 16, taking down Season III WPT Player of the Year Daniel Negreanu. Little advances to square off against the legendary Doyle Brunson in the Clubs Bracket final.
Let’s take a look at all of the Round 4 match ups:
Spades Bracket Final
1. Gus Hansen vs. 2. Antonio Esfandiari
Hearts Bracket Final
7. Phil Ivey vs. 8. Erik Seidel
Diamonds Bracket Final
1. Anthony Zinno vs. 3. Barry Greenstein
Clubs Bracket Final
4. Jonathan Little vs. 11. Doyle Brunson
It’s an all-chalk final in the Spades Bracket, where Gus Hansen, the No. 1 overall seed, squares off against Antonio Esfandiari. Combined, Hansen and Esfandiari have earned an eye-popping $7 million on the World Poker Tour.
The Hearts Bracket comes down to two WPT Champions Club members with serious claims to the title “greatest of all time” in poker. Ironically, Phil Ivey and Erik Seidel both captured their first and only WPT titles in Season VI, winning the WPT L.A. Poker Classic and WPT Foxwoods Poker Classic respectively.
In the Diamonds Bracket, we have a classic match up of Old School vs. New School. Season XIII Hublot WPT Player of the Year Anthony Zinno topped fellow young gun Mohsin Charania in the Diamonds Bracket semi-final, and now faces two-time champion Barry Greenstein for the right to advance to the WPT Champions Challenge Semi-Final.
