With more prominent tournaments scheduled for the next couple of months, which players should we expect to see in the latter stages of these events? With so many events in Europe and Canada, young Scandinavian poker prodigy Annette Obrestad will be able to play because of the 18-year-old age restriction.

Michael “The Grinder” Mizrachi is always a dangerous tournament player and has had great success on the WPT. Daniel Negreanu is due to win an event; his last win came at Tunica in 2006.

The usual pro rank leaders are sure to be seen: J.C. Tran, Juan Carlos Mortensen, Nam Le and Gavin Griffin all seem to go deep into most of the events they play. Dan Harrington is one of the best tournament players of all time and if he decides to play in a lot of events he’ll surely end up in front of a camera at a final table.
