Who has seen the most growth in their selections?
Negreanu was already top of the list, so it is a surprise that he has shown the most increase. There are only ten teams that he doesn't feature on.
Ben Yu and Chris Ferguson had minute support last year, but have been rewarded for super performances as, indeed, have most of these. I'm a bit surprised that last year's Player of the Year didn't get even more picks.
Player 2018 2017 Increase Daniel Negreanu 45 19 26 Ben Yu 23 2 21 James Obst 26 7 19 Mike Leah 26 8 18 John Monnette 23 5 18 Stephen Chidwick 29 12 17 Chris Ferguson 17 1 16 Phil Hellmuth 19 7 12 Shaun Deeb 15 4 11 John Racener 14 3 11 Adam Owen 13 3 10

Zero to Hero. The players no-one wanted last year, who have come roaring onto the charts this time. Ivey and Zinno were previous favourites we turned our backs on, who are now finding favour once again.
Player 2018 2017 Increase Phil Ivey 8 0 8 Anthony Zinno 7 0 7 Dario Sammartino 6 0 6 Joe McKeehen 5 0 5 Jason Koon 3 0 3 Joseph Cheong 3 0 3 Valentin Vornicu 3 0 3

The 2018 WSOP has begun. Some likely talking points:
The quality of the cards has been an issue at some recent WSOPs. Will it come up again as a problem?
There are more low buy-in events and more high-rollers. Ho hum.
The Player of the Year formula has been changed quite a lot to make it fairer. Chris Ferguson was declared the winner in 2017 but applying the new formula to last year's tournaments shows that the winner would have been......Chris Ferguson. So that was worth all the trouble.
The Main Event is no longer the final tournament. At least it gives people a reason to stay around when the Main FT is on.
One of the silly tag teams events has been canned. The sooner the other one goes, the better, in my opinion. Two bounty events have been introduced, one of them a turbo. Again, I think that these are silly gimmick events that should be scrapped. Do you agree?
And finally, the most controversial change; the one you are mainly interested in - the age cut-off for the Super Seniors has been lowered from 65 to 60!
