WSOP All-Star Tournament

Posted by Curtis Mayfield III on Friday, March 19, 2010 - 04:06

It looks like the Tournament of Champions has been rebranded into the All-Star tournament. I gotta admit that I am more than stoked to hear that the Tournament of Champions is back in action. This was one of the highlights of the WSOP in my opinion because if the star studded table where there were virtually no weak spots. Each and every player was an established tournament professional.

This time around there will be twenty seven spots in the tournament. Five of those spots are already pre-selected. Those players include Joe Cada, Mike Matusow, Mike Sexton, Phil Hellmuth and Barry Shulman.

Each of the remaining spots will be voted on by the fans. Yes, the fans are going to be able to vote for their favorite poker players to sit in this one of a kind all-star tournament. I think this is a fantastic idea and certainly worthy of being televised. I am looking forward to it and you should be too!
