WPT Organizes "Champions Challenge" Bracket of Past Winners

The calendar turning to March means March Madness, the annual college basketball championship tournament that captivates fans across the U.S. and elsewhere, is almost upon us. Bracket fever has even spread to the poker world, it seems.

In what amounts to a sort of poker popularity contest, the World Poker Tour has set up a bracket of 64 past champions in which fans can vote their favorite players onward. The bracket, available here, features three-time champions Gus Hansen, Carlos Mortensen, and Anthony Zinno as No. 1 seeds, along with two-time champion and seven-time final tablist Daniel Negreanu.
