Full Draw and Bracket of the WPT Heads-Up Championship
The draw for the event was streamed live a couple of days ago on Doug Polk’s YouTube channel with Joey Ingram co-presenting.
There will only be 32 players competing for the title, and only the final four players will win any prize money. This top-heavy format should see plenty of pressure on the participants when it comes down to bubble time.
The event is a five-round championship with the first three being a best-of-three format. Once the bubble has passed, the final two rounds will switch to best-of-five.
A studio has been created in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, but the players will compete on the PokerKing platform with every second of action being streamed on Twitch until the final is played out on June 22.
Further Highlight Matches in Round 1
LLinusLLove vs. Olivier Busquet
There are a few tasty matches to watch in the first round. One is LLinusLLove vs. Olivier Busquet. Both are heads-up specialists who will be two of the favourites to win the title.
Stefan11222 vs. Timothy Adams
Stefan “Stefan11222” Burakow vs. Timothy Adams is another with Stefan11222 being an online legend at the peak of his powers.
He is currently smashing “limitless” in their heads-up challenge and won’t be fearing any player that he is drawn against if he moves on to the later rounds.
There are some great names in this line up, alongside a few celebrities and online influencers. Celebrity DJ Steve Aoki will have to defeat high-stakes legend Dan smith if he wishes to progress. Patrik Antonius finds himself up against Japanese pop star “GAKT”.
Chess streamer Alexandra Botez will be hoping that her draw against fellow streamer “Hafu” will pay dividends. She took up poker alongside her chess career a few years ago and is tipped to do a respectable job, even if she will be a huge underdog against any of the established stars.
It will also be nice to see both Phil Ivey and Patrik Antonius returning to high-stakes action. They might be from an older generation but everyone knows exactly who they are and what they’re capable off at a poker table.
