written by: Steve under News Comments: Comments Off
With players eligible for two-year, three-year, and five-year exemptions, the Federated Sports + Gaming poker league run by Annie Duke and Jeffrey Pollack released a complete list of the 218 players that had met the league’s criteria and are eligible to participate in the five separate Season 1 tournament stops –all of the tournaments will take place at the Palms Casino in Las Vegas.
The criteria chosen seems to have been well thought out, as very snubs were discovered in the final list, and most of the players that were omitted still have a reasonable chance to qualify before the tour kicks off in August. Amongst the players failing to make the cut are 2010 WSOP Europe bracelet winner Phil Laak, 2010 EPT San Remo champion Liv Boeree, and Mr. online poker Phil “OMGClayAiken” Galfond who has won a WSOP bracelet back in 2008.
