It is what the poker players call the most important tournament in the world, it has a line-up with all the absolute top notch of pro poker players together with many qualifiers hoping to be able to do a Greg Raymer and get a few bucks translated into a fortune! Of course the pros from Team RedKings will participate, all of them hoping to become a member of the new “November 9″ in this 13 day long event.

With “November 9″ I mean the nine players that will be the last standing on the 15th of July, and gets to come back to play the final table later on in November. Here is all the Team RedKings player that will have the opportunity to become one of the most famous and richest poker player in the world:

Ramzi Jelassi (day 1a) - The Swedish super pro that has said himself he has a very good feeling for the Main Event, last year he was on Phil Hellmuths table and not only totally owned Mr. Hellmuth on the table, but also told him about that he had a dream. See video below (About 3:30 minutes into the movie). He has also had the lowest odds out of all Swedish players on a big booking site, lower than players like Scotty Nguyen and Gus Hansen.

Toni Ojala (day 1b) - With 3 cashes already this WSOP, Toni is one of the favorites to make a good position in this years Main Event.

Jonas “Molle” Molander (day 1d) - Molle has had vacation for a month now without any live poker, now he has just arrived here in Vegas to play in the big one!

Ivo Donev (day 1a) - Made his first cash in the WSOP 2009 two days ago in a NLHE event, so he is feeling confident for his last chance for his second bracelet!

Stephan Kjerstad (day 1c) - Doesn’t have any cashes this year yet, but hasn’t been playing many events, just to be in his best shape for the Main Event! If a Norwegian will win, it should be Stephan!

Christian Heich (day 1c) - Has had a bad run this series, but is back in the Main Event with his super aggressive style of poker, is that what you need to win?

Timo Annala (day 1c) - Will this be the new Greg Raymer? He qualified online through RedKings online qualifiers and now he is here in Vegas staying in a luxury hotel, eating luxury food and getting RedKings luxury treatment. He is from Finland, and he is dangerous!
