Notes:

The 10th Anniversary tournament was a one-time special event that took place after the 9th Tournament of Champions, and featured the most recent winner, Tom Nosek, against players from each of the other eight seasons. Those players were chosen at random several weeks prior to the tournament, and all were at least TOC semifinalists.

For winning the tournament, Frank Spangenberg won the cash earned in the 2-day final plus a $25,000 bonus, for a total of $41,800. (Early in the week, Alex slipped and said that the winner would receive a $10,000 bonus, but this was incorrect.) Leslie received the $7,500 minimum guarantee for third place.

It would have been awesome if every previous TOC winner had been able to participate, but that was probably impossible to arrange, since first-season winner Jerry Frankel had died of AIDS several years earlier, Chuck Forrest was working overseas, etc.
