WSOP Tournament of Champions All-Star Poker Event: Vote for Your 20 Faves

A vote for Team Bodog Pro David Williams will still leave you with 19 other votes to make good on.

Set to take place during the 2010 WSOP at the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas , the $1 million 2010 WSOP Tournament of Champions starts June 27 with final table action going down on July 4.

The TOC will feature 27 poker players, 20 of which will be selected by the public through a voting system, five of which have already been given automatic entry and two seats will be awarded by the WSOP at a later date.

"The Tournament of Champions brand has heritage in delivering the big moments,” said HIE Vice President Ty Stewart.   "We're thrilled to reinvent it around a model that should elevate the game by engaging millions of poker fans.   We have received a lot of input from players and their affinity for the TOC, and we are excited for them and the fans and hope its here to stay."

The five players that have been given automatic entry are the three previous WSOP TOC winners, plus the reigning WSOP champion and the reigning WSOP Europe champion. So that means poker pros Annie Duke, Mike Matusow, Mike Sexton, Joe Cada and Barry Shulman are among the first to be seated.

Voting begins March 15, 2010 at 12 noon ET on www.WSOP.com and remains open until June 15, 2010 at midnight ET.

To qualify, players must be a WSOP bracelet-holder.   All living WSOP bracelet holders are able to receive votes, and currently there are 521 eligible players.

And you guessed it, our boy David Williams is a WSOP bracelet winner! Vote for your Tournament of Champions all-stars today.
