We've spent the summer periodically highlighting some of the best players on the World Series of Poker Circuit who earned a seat into the $1 million WSOP National Championship freeroll.  These 100 players worked hard for their free shot at a big payday, but this event is also going to reward 100 of the WSOP's best performers of the past three years with a shot at the bracelet and a piece of the prize pool as well.
 
The 100 WSOP Rankings qualifiers for the WSOP National Championship may not have free seats into the event like their WSOPC counterparts, but for $10,000, they can take part in the action.  The elite field of 100 players is based on the WSOP World Rankings, which looks at player performance over the 2010 and 2011 WSOP. 
 
The newly minted two-time Poker Players Champion, Michael Mizrachi, is the top points earner on the list of 100 afte rhis impressive two-year run, which included his first $50,000 Poker Players Championship victory, his Main Event final table appearance, and his 2011 WSOPE bracelet.  He isn't the only $50,000 PPC winner on the list either.  Brian Rast and David Bach also have an opportunity to buy-in and join the fray, as will recent WSOP Main Event winners Pius Heinz and Jonathan Duhamel.
 
The list of players eligible to buy-in is a veritable who's who of the poker world and they will certainly be formidable competition for the 100 WSOPC qualifiers in what is sure to be an exciting event.  The tournament is scheduled to get underway on Friday, July 6th at 12pm PT.  Day 2 of the National Championship runs on July 7th and the final table will return on July 11th to play down to a National Champion in front of the ESPN cameras.
