The 2005 WSOP Tournament of Champions (TOC) completed day 1 play with two of the biggest names (and mouths) leading the field.
The format this year is much different than last year’s top-secret one-table shoot-out won by Annie Duke. The big changes:
:: There’s about 105 more people than last year (114 total).
:: Top point leaders from the WSOP and WSOP circuit events got the invite, along with the 9 who made the ME final table.
:: The event is a three-day affair.
:: The event is not top-secret. People died last year protecting the identity of the winner. People died.
The TOC is still a freeroll, but the winner only gets $1 mil (the entire final table gets paid). So essentially, you have to beat out 105 more people than last year to win less money. Awesome. Who is running this event, FEMA?
Other notables include: 6th – Michael "

Not bad for a guy that showed up 3-1/2 hours late. Reminds me of an older version of Sammy.
