The Event Begins
The 10th Anniversary Tournament of Champions has begun. The crowd here at the Crown is electric, and while we will not be live reporting the event, we will periodically provide you with some updates. Here is a look at the seat draw for the TOC:
| Seat | Player | Year They Won |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Tyron Krost | 2010 |
| 2 | Peter Costa | 2003 |
| 3 | Gus Hansen | 2007 |
| 4 | Stewart Scott | 2009 |
| 5 | Jamil Dia | 2005 |
| 6 | Lee Nelson | 2006 |
| 7 | Tony Bloom | 2004 |
| 8 | David Gorr | 2011 |
*Alexander Kostritsyn won in 2008 but was unable to attend the TOC due to the anticipated birth of his child.
Each player begins with 30,000 in tournament chips and the structure is the same as the Aussie Millions Main Event, although with shortened levels to 15 minutes.
