Eh, from what I've seen in these damn tournaments...it's never the top leaders who end up winning in the final day. It's usually someone like in the 6-10 range (on your list) If I had to pick, I'd pick Perry Friedman - I'm not sure if he's won a bracelet yet - real solid player though. Scotty always seems to be there but the modafvcker is always drunk, baby.

Anyway, if Doyle wins then good for him. It's also nice to see a pro will more than likely win it...instead of some internet douche who plays on Pokerstars under the name "King Revolver" or something stupid.

With only 135 players in this event, the majority are pros...........I would guess at least 100 of them.

Surprised more would not enter this, as it is a good chance to pick up a cheap bracelet.

Hmm you're right. It's a not a Hold 'em event - that's where you get all the crazies.

Phil Hellmuth is probably really worried right now.

In case you missed it, PHIL IVEY has won two bracelets at this years series, bringing his total to seven.

Unquestionably the best overall player in the world in my opinion.

Yeah, Fishie - I did know about Ivey winning two. And I think none of his bracelets have been in Hold 'Em - which to me - makes it even more impressive. Hold 'Em is the easiest game to learn and the Hold 'Em tourneys always attract a ton of people so they're harder to win. We already know Ivey can play it - him winning bracelets in these other games proves he's the best overall player.

Almost every winner is a no name now in all these 60 or so events

The skill is gone in poker because everyone plays and takes a shot

You are somewhat correct.
