    Wow. I just logged onto to see who is in it, a lot of big names. I guess it is understandable given it is a $50k event..

    While I agree Phil H. would be a "good for poker" win, I just can't get by his entitled attitude therefore I will rarely ever root for this guy.

    If any of these guys get it, it would be cool. For me I kinda wouldn't mind seeing some of the young guys take it down:

    Phil Galfond
    Scott Seiver
    Shaun Deeb
    Jon Turner
    Michael Binger
    Josh Arieh

    To name a few.

    From the older guard:

    Barry Greenstein, Gus Hansen or Jeffrey Lisandro would be cool.

    I agree. When I said that, I was more referring to good press for poker in the mainstream media as he has the biggest profile with general people (i.e. potential fish... :-).

    Cheers

    I've always liked Ming, but would be nice to see Phil win a tourney over a million. Though, sometimes, Phil just bugs the shit out of me.

    A Hellmuth win would get some mainstream coverage, so I'm rooting for him. Ly has a reputation for being an angle shooter, so I guess he's the villain of the table.

    Wait, what? Where did you read or hear that Ly was an angle shooter?

    Brian Rast just shipped the monster, 8.6 mil pot for a chip lead.
    Entertaining final table so far.

    If you happen to know that article, I would like to read it. Far as I heard, could be wrong, the Brunson's, both Todd and Doyle, are good friends with Ly

    Unlucky finish for Hellmuth, took his shots to win it and couldn't hit.

    Damn ... Phil is a bitch a lot of the times he is on TV, but to lose three flush draws is brutal. His fist million dollar pay day though.

    Seems like Hellmuth is a lock for WSOP Player of the Year.
