On pokernews:
"the tournament will bring together 61 of the greatest poker players in the world and three "wild card" entries that should add some unexpected drama to what has become one of the most prestigious titles in poker in a short time.
The "Final Four" from the 2005 tournament, Champion Phil Hellmuth, runner-up Chris "Jesus" Ferguson, Antonio "The Magician" Esfandiari and T. J. Cloutier, will all attempt to make a return trip to the finals of this year's event, but the field will have danger at every turn. The cream of the poker world makes up the rest of the Heads Up field, including Doyle Brunson, Johnny Chan, Annie Duke, Ted Forrest, Barry Greenstein, Phil Ivey, Howard Lederer, 2006 Poker Player of the Year leader Michael "The Grinder" Mizrachi and 2005 Poker Player of the Year Men "The Master" Nguyen are just a few of the names that have committed to the event. There will also be those three "wild cards" that should be an interesting addition to the tournament."
