|
The World Series of Poker announced the names of the 20 poker pros who were voted into the 2010 Tournament of Champions today, completing the 27-person field.
There was little surprise at the top, as Phil Ivey and Daniel Negreanu distanced themselves from the pack to lead all of the fan favorites, with Ivey receiving just 28 more votes than Negreanu.
Jennifer Harman was the only woman voted into the top 20. Annie Duke will also compete in the $1 million freeroll, as a result of her previous TOC win.
Greg Raymer, Joe Hachem, and Antonio Esfandiari grabbed the final three fan spots for the June 27 event.
Bertand Grospellier won the play-in spot last week.
