Shouldn"t really, but I don"t suppose anyone will object. I won"t tell anyone if you don"t. Tell them to get the bloody things in.

As Carl knows, I have a problem with my team, as I wanted to pick an all-female team, but no woman has ever won the Main Event. Looks like I have to choose between Hellmuth+7 or a seven-woman team, neither of which is really what I wanted.

Some teasers.
We have 23 entries, 2 more than last year.
67 players have been selected. Of those, 36 are repeats and 31 are new, while a staggering 30 of last year"s selections have been dumped by the unforgiving selectors.
These are the losers, who you included last time but not one of you now considers good enough for the WSOP, along with the number of times they were picked last year:
4 Antonio Esfandiari
4 David Vamplew
3 Yevgeniy Timoshenko
2 Annette Obrestad
2 Marvin Rettenmaier
1 Amir Lehavot
1 Barry Greenstein
1 Ben Lamb
1 Bobby Baldwin
1 Chris Moneymaker
1 Chris Klodnicki
1 Erika Moutinho
1 IIari Sahamies
1 Johnny Chan
1 Johnny Lodden
1 Jordan Westmorland
1 JP Kelly
1 Lukas Berglund
1 Mateusz Moolhuizen
1 Melanie Weisner
1 Mike Leah
1 Olivier Busquet
1 Paul Volpe
1 Phil Galfond
1 Sam Grafton
1 Sam Chartier
1 Stuart Rutter
1 Tom Schneider
1 Victoria Coren
1 Viktor Blom
They have been replaced by these rising stars, who no-one wanted to know last year, along with the number of times they have been picked this time:
8 George Danzer
3 Jake Cody
2 Bryn Kenney
2 David Kitai
2 Greg Merson
2 James Dempsey
2 Jason Summerville
2 Justin Bonomo
2 Ludo Geilich
2 Martin Jacobson
2 Melissa Burr
2 Patrick Leonard
2 Richard Ashby
2 Simon Deadman
1 Allyn Shulman
1 Amanda Musumeci
1 Billy Baxter
1 Charlie Carrel
1 Chris Bjorn
1 Connor Drinan
1 Daniel Colman
1 Doug Polk
1 Dylan Linde
1 Isaac Haxton
1 Jason Wheeler
1 Joe Cada
1 Liv Boeree
1 Lu Zhang
1 Matt Glantz
1 Max Silver
1 Ryan Spittles

The biggest loss of confidence is in Sam Trickett, down from 8 selections last time to just 1 this time. Other than those listed above who were dropped completely, the biggest drops in support were:
2015 2014 -
1 8 -7 Sam Trickett
1 5 -4 Jonathan Duhamel
4 8 -4 Phil Ivey
6 10 -4 Ole Schemion
The player with the biggest increase in support, other than Danzer, is Maria Ho, who was picked just once last time but 8 times this year. Some of the largest increases were for players who already featured on a large number of teams:
2015 2014 +
8 1 7 Maria Ho
11 6 5 Stephen Chidwick
16 11 5 Daniel Negreanu
19 15 4 Phil Hellmuth
4 1 3 Calvin Anderson
It is fair to say that the ups and downs reflect the players" performances last year.
The one player with very strong support who features to just about the same extent as last year is Vanessa Selbst, who has been picked 13 times, down just 1 on last year despite a disappointing Series last time.
