Wow, guys, that's not the case at all. Several FTP players were invited to play in this event. Ivey, Durr, etc. were all invited to play but the bosses at FTP decided to boycott the event and not allow their players to play in it.

PokerStars definitely invited them, I know that for a 100% fact since I personally invited several of them. They accepted, and then later had to cancel because they got word that FTP made the decision that they didn't want their players in the event.

I don't see what the big deal would be if they were allowed to wear FTP gear.

It would defiantly be better for poker to have Ivey, durrrr, PA, etc. in the event!

Table 1

1. Joe Sebok
2. Phil Laak
3. Justin Bonomo
4. David Williams
5. Joe Cassidy
6. Yevgeniy Timoshenko
7. Tommy Vedes

Analysis: This could be the toughest heat of the 7. Phil Laak really impressed me recently at the Premier League, as did Timoshenko. Joe Cassidy and Justin Bonomo are also a force. I'm going with Timoshenko as my #1 seed to win this heat.

Analysis of Analysis: Phil Laak and David Williams are the weak spots here. Timoshenko, Bonomo and Cassidy are all sickos and have a pretty sizable edge on the table

Table 2

1. (Satellite winner)
2. Dario Minieri
3. Tony G.
4. Alec Torelli
5. Isaac Haxton
6. Daniel Alaei
7. Peter Eastgate

Analysis: Isaac Haxton is one of the most successful online players in the world, and has also had success in live events. Danny Alaei may seem like he's been around for 20 years, and his poise at the table gives that kind of impression, but he's also very young. Those are my two favorites in this heat, but I'll give Haxton the edge in this faster paced structure.

Analysis of Analysis: hahaha at a shorter structure giving Ike an "edge" over someone like Alaei. Pretty sure the deeper the better for him. I do agree Ike is the favorite at this table

Table 3

1. Chris Moneymaker
2. Keith Gibson
3. Joe Cada
4. Jason Mercier
5. Hasan Habib
6. Matt Glantz
7. Ashton Griffin

Analysis: Mercier is a rising star in the world of poker. Not only has he put up some sick results, the Bluff player of the year came across very well in his recent TV appearances on the WSOPE. His determination and his obsession with playing tournaments reminds me a lot of myself in my early 20's. I'm not even picking a second horse here, Mercier is my clear #1 choice.

Analysis of Analysis: Def agree 100%, Mercier is a sicko

Table 4

1. Andrew Robl
2. Lee Markholt
3. John Hennigan
4. Phil Galfond
5. Alex Kamberis
6. Brett Richey
7. Daniel Negreanu

Analysis: For the sake of unbiased analysis I'm going to take myself out of the equation. This is a tough one for me to call. Once again, it's a very tough heat. Two names stand out for me, Phil Galfond and John Hennigan. I'm not sure how much poker either has played in the last few months, but I know both to be very talented players. I'm going with Hennigan (but not really, if you know what I mean :-)

Analysis of Analysis: I think this is probably the sickest table. I think I would have to give the edge to Galfond and Daniel. Kamberis is very strong in this format as well. such a sick table

Table 5

1. J.C Tran
2. Joe Hachem
3. Annie Duke
4. Jennifer Tilly
5. Vanessa Rousso
6. Di Dang
7. Faraz Jaka

Analysis: What are the odds that we have exactly three women in the entire field, and they are ALL in the same heat! Of the three, one stands out in a structure like this, and that's Vanessa Rousso. Few women, or men for that matter, spend more time analyzing and working on their game. We have another high stakes online player in Di Dang at the table, but the guy I'm looking at to win this heat is the guy that I just played heads up in the Premier League: J.C. Tran.

Analysis of Analysis: Faraz Jaka seems like my most liley pick up based on what I've seen of all the other's play

Table 6

1. Scott Sevier
2. Brian Rast
3. Chau Giang
4. ElkY
5. Antonio Esfandiari
6. Sorel Mizzi
7. Barry Greenstein

Analysis: This is another very tough heat and it should be a blood bath. I've always been impressed with Antonio Esfandiari's game, and while he may have taken a few steps back over the years, it seems like he is taking poker more seriously of late and is very focused. The other guy that jumps out at me is known simply as "Elky." I think Elky is an incredibly talented tournament player, whether it's against weak competition or against top pros. I'm going with Elky for the win.

Analysis of Analysis: I think Esfandiari is the weakspot at the table. Scott Seiver is probably the favorite to win here

Table 7

1. Phil Hellmuth
2. Adam Richardson
3. Hoyt Corkins
4. Greg Raymer
5. John Duthie
6. Hevad Khan
7. Steve Paul-Ambrose

Analysis: This heat was a bit more difficult for me to pick. Hoyt Corkins is coming off of another impressive win on the WPT, but that was against a very different kind of field. I actually fancy the young guys in this heat, Hevad Khan and Steve Paul-Ambrose. I think I'm going to go out on a limb here and pick the soft spoken Team PokerStars Pro, and fellow Canadian, Steve Paul-Ambrose.

Analysis of Analysis: goooo stevejpa!!!

gl everyone, looks like a fun tourney

I'm surprised how highly the poker world regards Phil Hellmuths game,

Gavin Griffin really sucking up right now.

Same here. Sound is fine but the video is a bunch of weird colors with faint outlines of the players and whatever else is in the video. Tried all of the different links... so probably a problem with my computer itself.
