TOC

[two0crew]

Interesting heads up battle taking place right now between Daniel and Mike Sexton. Mike had him outchipped at one point 2.2 mil to 500k and now Negreanu's up 1.5 to 1.2..

Cardplayer.com or pokerwire have updates.

Edit: Sexton doubles up to take a 2mil - 700k lead.

Sexton won..

How did Sexton get in? Didn't you have to qualify through the ME and the circuit events? What did he do?

STEP 1: Work for Party Poker
STEP 2: Get entered into a tournament where there are sponsor exemptions
STEP 3: PROFIT

I'm happy for Mike Sexton. Anyone who can put up with Stuey Ungar and Vince Van Patten has to have the patience of JOB.

Good Job Mike!

Does it seem weird to anyone else that they had the TOC before the WSOP started? Shouldn't the upcoming tourneys have something to do with who gets into the TOC? How did they decide on these 27 entrants?

WSOP'05 ME FT and WSOP circuit event winners got in.. and of cource everybody who had hundred million dollar sponsor deal with WSOP.

Original field list (http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/blog/index?entryDate=20060623&name=poker)

Why don't they hold the TOC at the end of the WSOP, a few days after the main event, and include all of the winners from every 2006 event?
