It would be cool to see Dennis Phillips in the final table again. Quite a story to see how he would fare the second time around.

I’m gonna go…
Phil Ivey (obv)
Andy Lichtenberger
Nick Maimone
James Akenhead
Jonathan Tamayo
Donkeybomber
Antonio Esfandiari
Jeff Shulman
Thai Tran
Further, if I could bet AGAINST Darvin, I would. I like Dennis Phillips, I just think it’s going to be hard for him to get there from 56 out. Sebok is short so he’s not included either. Plus, I can’t put EVERY big name in the list! 😉

if you take the first letter of each name, they’re an anagram for:
Blab Vamps Bled Still
(or Bald Balls Blimp Vest, but the first one makes a tiny bit more sense.)
