Five seats will be assigned automatically. The 3 previous winners of the World Series of Poker ToC Annie Duke, Mike Matusow, and Mike Sexton will be present. They will be joined by the last two champions of the WSOP and WSOP Europe, Joe Cada and Barry Shulman.
The choice of the other 20 players will be given to the public. The vote was open a few times after the announcement of the comeback of the ToC and it will be closed on June 15 at midnight. To be recognized among the 20 participants, the player must be a holder of at least one WSOP bracelet. The choice will be difficult for the public because there is in total 521 eligible players.
