As part of the 50th Annual World Series of Poker (WSOP) celebrations, WSOP officials have released the list of the “50 Greatest Poker Players” in history.

The list was compiled after tallying votes from a panel made up of 26 poker media and industry stalwarts. They were given a list of 200 players, along with the ability to add write-ins, and all told 173 different players received votes.

There was no ranking involved, just simply selecting who belonged in the Top 50 list with the sole caveat that the player had played at the WSOP at least once.

Here’s a look at the list in alphabetical order based on last names:
