Who'll Choose to Buy Into the National Championship?

Chad Holloway

Level 27 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante

We know it's a long list, but here's a look at the 100 players who're eligible to play this year's National Championship provided they're willing to fork over a $10,000 buy-in. We have it on good authority that a handful of these players will be making their way to the "Big Easy" (provided they're not already here) to take their shot at a WSOP bracelet.
