Jonathan Little wins second WPT title

<img src="http://www.liquidpoker.net/staff/Pindarots/November/jonathanlittle.jpg" align="right" style="border:1px solid black; margin:5px;">While the WSOP Main Event final table drew all the attention, there was another big tournament playing as well. The World Poker Tour Foxwood Finals had 412 players making the prizepool a sweet $3,800,000 ! After 5 days of play, Jonathan Jaffe was the chipleader at this final table of 6, with Mike Matusow being the shortstack.

Looking at the chipcounts, it wasn't a big surprise to see Mike Matusow bust out first, in a coinflip he didn't manage to catch one of his overcards against Jonathan Little. Not much later, Jack Schanbacher had to leave after his 98s pushed all-in for 800k. David Pham called him, but Jonathan Little put him all-in for 600k more from the small blind. After some thought, Pham gives up his pocket tens and Schanbacher sees his 98s miss the board against Little's pocket queens.

That hand took a decisive blow out of David Pham's stack, and when he was all-in with deuces, he had the classic coinflip against Charles Marchese's KJo. A jack on the flop and The Dragon is out of his 7th WPT final table still waiting for his WPT title. 3-handed, Jonathan Little and Jonathan Jaffe were the most aggressive players at the table, and when Charles Marchese finally got his money in, he was behind with his against yet again the pocket queens of Little. No help from this board either and they were heads-up.

And what a heads-up it was! Over 5 hours of play and 170 hands of heads-up poker later they were down to the decisive hand, when both got all-in preflop with Little holding against Jonathan Jaffe's . Again no help for Jaffe and that means Jonathan Little wins his second WPT title and $1,120,310

Final results:

1. Jonathan Little — $1,120,310
2. Jonathan Jaffe — $670,636
3. Charles Marchese — $337,256
4. David “The Dragon” Pham — $240,344
5. Jack Schanbacher — $182,196
6. Mike “The Mouth” Matusow — $124,048

wow sick

what was his online name again?

JESUS CHRIST HOW DOES DAVID PHAM MAKE SO MANY WPT FINAL TABLES?????

Jonathon Little is FieryJustice. hes a live pro now

he was in the same ft as mig during the festa al lago series

wasnt jonathon little at the ft with ryan daut during the pca, and he thought he was the best at the table then called an allin with tptk against the nuts and drew out runner runner to split it?

goddamnit fucking luckboxes

this guy is like the most dominant mtt player ever

dudes jon little is really good imo, like...deceptively nasty.

he's a really good example of somebody who abuses his nitty image to the max and just seems to never ever make an incorrect bluff or hero call

he's prob one of the best mtt players, top 20 i'd say

he is JCardShark

I think he's good, but definitely running way above expectation. I don't know if i'd say top 20 but that's all so subjective.

oh also chris is right, he's Jcardshark on stars, FieryJustice on FTP, but i think he got booted from being a red pro for abusing 100% rb with SNGs

David pham punts harder than most i've seen, and coming from me that's saying something

because David Pham is "The Dragon"? duh!

an example of David Pham's (awesome) but run sick run good tilt.

5k in Bellagio, pham opens Btn, sb who is tighest player at the table 3 bets, pham calls.

flop Q 8 5 (2 hearts). Guy open jams for a PSB. Pham snap calls.

Guy has AK, pham has Q4hh. nice defend dragon.

also he is sick slowrolled a guy with 13 left in a different 5k i played in with him.

you sure you're talking about the right guy?



he's a really nice guy and i can't ever imagine him slowrolling somebody

and i'm serious he usually plays really well

yeah me too I think he does as well, but he randomly tilts and punts. Also i don't htink the slowroll was intentional, but it was still really sick b/c he doubled barreled a guy with a FD, got tehre on the river and the dude shoved into him, and he tanked for about 2 minutes b4 calling w/ 3rd nuts with like 60% of his stack in.

yes, that's him.
