The players are: Gus Hansen, Joe Hachem (winner of the 2005 WSOP Main Event), Marcel Luske, Willie Tann, Ben Roberts, Andrew Black, Donnacha O’Dea and Isabelle Mercier.
Wendeen Eolis, a prominent poker player and business executive, will serve as the new council's chairwoman. Serving as the council's executive chairman is Commissioner of the World Series of Poker, Jeffrey Pollack.
The WSOP brand is owned by Harrah's Entertainment, one of the world's the biggest gaming companies. The World Series of Poker 2007, the biggest poker event of the year, will take place at the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas on June 1.
