PPL show

According to one source, Liz Lieu got IN. Clonie Gowen is an alternate at this point.

Kathy Liebert is definitely OUT.

I also have confirmation that Greg Raymer is OUT.

Didn't DN say he was a big part of the PPL?

If so then it doesn't surprise me that Greg is out.

I think that's unfortunate for everyone involved. Greg is obviously very marketable.

If that's the case, it doesn't bode well for the other 6 in the WPT lawsuit.

I am kinda curious what they used to determine the top 64, minus the 8 woman.(assuming it is 8)

That's a very good question IMHO.

If it was chosen on pure talent or a combination of that and marketability etc.

I am being told that Cyndy Violette is IN, and will be one of the 8 team captains.

According to Negreanu there are 8 women. (see a few posts above this one) I think its funny that he admitted this tournament(??) isn't the best 64 players in the world because there aren't 8 women in the top 64. Of course it's true but I'm suprised that he actually admitted it.

Care to start a list of top 56 men and 8 women? Also would you base it on pure ability or marketabliity?

One source tells me that the selection process was heavily politicized, which explains why:

1. Evelyn Ng got IN while Kathy Liebert, who was among the top 2 or 3 money-earners during the 2005-2006 tournament poker season, was left OUT

2. Greg Raymer was left OUT, presumably because of his feud with Daniel Negreanu

Welcome to the entertainment industry, "poker players".

A good start? I realize there are a couple unexpected ones. That I could try to defend but maybe they'd only make sense to me.

Also sorry Kev. I started a new thread cause I thought I was hijacking this one.

The difference between the top 64 and the 64 that'll actually be on the PPL broadcasts is a large one. When the list comes out on the 7th (or leaked before that), it surely will be cause for much discussion.
