La lista dei 203 giocatori ‘pickabili’ nel Draft GPL: nove italiani presenti, anche Esfandiari e Mercier hanno detto sì

203 giocatori di 33 diverse Nazioni per un totale di vincite live superiore al mezzo miliardo di dollari.

Con la deadline per compilare il form online scaduta stanotte, questa mattina è stato comunicato l’elenco ufficiale dei player che si sono resi pickabili per il Draft della Global Poker League 2016, in programma il 25 febbraio prossimo a Beverly Hills.

Tantissimi top player hanno dato la loro adesione a questo progetto di Alex Dreyfus che mira a sporitivizzare il poker, a iniziare dal ‘Mago’ Antonio Esfandiari per passare ad altri pezzi da novanta come Jason Mercier, Kevin MacPhee, Fedor Holz, Mike ‘timex’ MacDonald, Vanessa Selbst, Brian Rast, Chris Moorman e il neo-campione del Mondo Joe McKeehen.

Tra i Big che mancheranno dal Draft, invece, oltre a Dan Smith e Steve O’Dwyer, ci sono anche Daniel Negreanu e Phil Hellmuth, che il 25 saranno impegnati a spalleggiare la bella Kara Scott nella diretta televisiva del Draft.

Per l’Italia presenti Mustapha Kanit, Dario Sammartino, Walter Treccarichi, Rocco Palumbo, Iacopo Brandi, Antonio Buonanno, Andrea Dato, Gianluca Escobar e Muhamet Perati (anche se indicato con bandiera albanese).

Alcuni dei giocatori che ci avevano detto che si sarebbero resi ‘pickabili’, quindi, non hanno compilato il form online, come Raffaele Sorrentino e Francesco Delfoco.

Nel corso del Draft i 12 team manager dovranno selezionare 3 giocatori dal Draft mentre gli altri due player del Team saranno a tutti gli effetti Wild Card.

Vedremo come si muoverà il nostro Max Pescatori, capitano dei Rome Emperors, per garantire al Team una nutrita rappresentanza italiana.

In attesa di capire da Max se ha già studiato una strategia per rendere il team italiano il più competitivo possibile, ecco l’elenco completo di tutti i 203 giocatori che hanno compilato il form e si sono dichiarati eleggibili per il Draft GPL:
