   I’ve been wondering when this list would come out. Any early surprises/omissions?

   No Donkey Bomber. Karridy was unable to wield his influence with GoDaddy to get them to pony up Tom’s $25k, despite K’s spending about as much buying domain names.

   I really do like this line-up … so many good potential battles depending on pairings, and I think it holds up the tournament to its rank as a “major”.

   Nothing knocks me outta my chair. First thought: David Williams? Other than that, no WTF thoughts.

   What about Me vs. IRS? And is there any way we could host this matchup online? I know a great site.

   If there was a ever a year to rig the lineup, Gowen v Lederer in Round 1 would be an epic matchup.

   Farha vs. Moneymaker … that would be fun, too.

   BTW, Jen, Williams is #58 on the list. So Williams vs. Raymer would also be a great, er, rematch.

   The list is in alphabetical order.

   One huge omission (unless he turned down the invite): Patrik Antonius.

   Edit: PA unable to attend (he’s been in Thailand at the start of his challenge against Durrr).

   No Patrik Antonius. Not a super-shocker.

   What is the story with Raymer vs David Williams? What did I miss?

    They played heads-up for the WSOP main event championship in 2004. The hand that Williams lost with still haunts him, he says.

    Dang. I thought It was something really good like Clonie vs Howard or Farha vs Moneymaker. Williams vs Raymer wasn’t so memorable to me. What other HU battles would probably make for good TV?

    Tony G vs Helmuth? heh
    Durrrr vs Helmuth…oh wait that already happened.

    Demidov v Eastgate, in the hopes you actually see more than 2 hands.
    Tilly v Laak would be fun as well.

    Forget the Tony G. matchup and also Marcel Luske, either of the Boatmans, Roland DeWolfe; clearly made for US television.

    Jerry Yang vs. Jesus Ferguson.

    Hey… It’ll be good to see Kaplan…

    After watching that episode
    of him on High stakes…

    I was impressed…

    Maybe I’m easily impressed…
