2005 tournament of champions

[SOWhatKid 0]

Has anyone heard any news on what the lineup of the next TOC would be? I've heard some discussion on it here, but nothing concrete. I think most people in this forum would agree that last year's TOC was not necessarily the best current players in the world. For example, what the hell is Annie Duke doing there? Does she even crack the top 1000?I'm gonna throw some names out there and my reasons for including them:1. Reserved for whichever shmuck wins the WSOP this year (most likely someone you've never heard of....it seems to be the theme, but they deserve to be in it if they won).2. Daniel Negreanu (At least a top 3 tourney player currently)3. Erick Lindgren (Any "best of" table that does not include him is simply not telling the truth)4. John Juanda (An obvious pick, but he gets the Asian snub usually. Pretty common thing here in the states)5. Johnny Chan (Last guy to win back to back)6. Doyle Brunson (Probably not a current top player, but still the Godfather and belongs)7. Phil Hellmuth (Definitely not a top player, but exceptions need to be made for him. Why? Well, honestly just because he's well known and makes great TV.8. T.J. Cloutier (Probably not a current top player either, but he's still close)9. Chip Reese (I was glad to see him on it last year, despite him not being a household name).10. Dan Harrington (Making 2 final tables in a row with the fields as large as they were is probably the best accomplishment in WSOP history).Those are my picks (5-9 are just repeats). I'm assuming they're just going to do a 10 seater again, but they may bump it up to 11. I'm wondering if I left out any obvious choices. I believe they plan on doing it again this year as last one was a great success. DN got in last year through lobbying for his place, so it might be time to start voicing our opinions on who really belongs. Thoughts?

this table sucks

Phil is purely a holdem player. However he is a great holdem player, last time i checked at the TOC there is no omaha or stud, so why shouldn't Phil be at the TOC. As well here is my TOC in no order1. Phil Hellmuth2. Phil Ivey3. Daniel4. Gus Hansen5. Layne Flack6. E-Dog7.Juanda8.Lederer9.Reese10. Ted Forrest
