Coinflip blogger and VictoryPoker pro Antonio Esfandiari (pictured) is on the list of 20 players who have received the most votes for the WSOP Tournament of Champions.


The voting has been open for one month and will be for another two months, so this is by no means the final list. However, here are the 20 players who would get an invitation to the million dollar freeroll (in alphabetical order):

Doyle Brunson
Johnny Chan
T.J. Cloutier
Allen Cunningham
Antonio Esfandiari
Sam Farha
Chris Ferguson
Barry Greenstein
Joe Hachem
Jennifer Harman
Dan Harrington
Phil Hellmuth
Phil Ivey
John Juanda
Howard Lederer
Daniel Negreanu
Scotty Nguyen
Greg Raymer
Huck Seed
Erik Seidel

These 20 players would be joined by five players who have already booked their place in the event: former Tournament of Champions winners Annie Duke, Mike Matusow and Mike Sexton, and the current WSOP and WSOPE Main Event champions Joe Cada and Barry Shulman. The remaining two places are reserved for sponsor exemptions, which probably means online qualifiers.

As said, there's still plenty of time to vote. You can do so on the WSOP web site (on the top right corner of the page).
