The 2010 World Series of Poker Tournament of Champions, what is in many ways poker’s all-star game premieres tonight, August 3rd, on ESPN with a final table full of headliners.

Among those expected to be prominently featured in tonight’s ESPN coverage are PokerRoad’s Barry Greenstein, Daniel Negreanu, T.J. Cloutier, Erik Seidel, Jennifer Harman, Joe Hachem, Huck Seed and both former TOC champion Annie Duke and her brother Howard “The Professor” Lederer, yet another sibling rivalry episode to match the already aired $50,000 buy-in Poker Players Championship, which featured Michael and Robert Mizrachi at the same final table.

It is no surprise really that the TOC final table airing tonight has so many beloved players, as nearly all of the initial 27 players- with the exception of past TOC champions and a few sponsor exemptions- were voted in by the fans online.  The winner of the TOC (and I wont say who it was in case you forgot) earned $500,000, and a large trophy worthy of bragging about for at least the next 10 months, when hopefully WSOP officials will decide to host another one of these highest of profile freerolls.

Tonight’s Tournament of Champions episode begins on ESPN at 8 p.m. ET.  For more information visit www.wsop.com, or check local listings.
