IN!

[roblloyd]

In, went with some of the players more likely to play the non-holdem events and those who will have some bracelet bets on. Hoping Group 9 do well and rep the Brits!!!

[Beano52]

Wow, I'm in but had a real hard time with Groups 1,3,12 !!Group 1: Daniel vs. Elky ??Group 3: Hellmuth vs. Seidel ??Group 12: Annette vs. Bloom ?? (went with Annette wondering if Bloom will crash and burn)

[FCP Bob]

One of the fun things that we should be able to do is publish the stats for how often each player is picked after entries are closed.

[I_fold08]

In. good luck to no one but me.

[rcgs59]

That and I made it a point to pick players who I thought were more likely to play a full schedule i.e. I took Faraz Jaka over Hassan Habib because I think that he will play a lot more although I think that Habib is a more consistent player.

[Beano52]

Honestly, I believe we will soon find out (next couple years) that Mercier is a fluke. he is very good but I don't believe "world Class".

Haha, I took the exact same line with Jaka>Habib. Exact same thought process. Great minds think alike maybe?

I'm sure there are many well known/successful poker players left off this list. It's not like Daniel said these are the best of the best. It looks like he grouped them into the specific categories for a reason.

[GWCGWC]

I just clicked buttons kind of like when I play poker.

[gatortom64]

Yet another reason to make a WSOP site part of my home page set!!!! Thank DN and all the mods here for all you do!!!

[HeroCall23]

Is there a way to edit your picks? I messed up on the tie-breaker.

In as well, also had the hardest time with group 1. Wanted so badly to go with Katchalov, but how can you not pick Ivey knowing he has bracelet bets? I think Siedel will dominate Hellmuth and Blom is an easy lock knowing he is just trying to prove he is a dominant player in not just cash games. Also lol at some of the grouping. Asians, Easterb Europeans etc. And thanks to Daniel for putting this on. A real class act and great ambassador for the game.

Well Hi all. If i'm close to winning it will be complete luck.Said to the Mrs, "Give me a number between 1-5" 15 times and that's where I got my picks from
