Well, PokerNews is reporting that it's all but confirmed that Phil Ivey is one of the people. But the release said the first person would be someone with multiple bracelets - has Ivey got any yet?
The guy at FSN states that it'll take a couple months to pull the people together. There was also talk in the Poker News write-up that there will be at least a couple spots open to internet players. I'm sorry, I just can't see that. There's no way you're going to get 4 players (and their backers) to put up $10M each to end up going against two nobodies that win there way there and have absolutely NOTHING to lose for a shot at winning $60M. I think you'll see the first one made up of 6 professionals who have bought in for 10 mil apiece in a winner-take-all slugfest.
