Fossilman is not an "online player", nor did he come out of "nowhere". He is a long-time high-limit cash game player at Foxwoods, cashed in the main event at the WSOP a few years ago, has had many high finishes in the World Poker Finals, and has long been considered one of the most respected tournament theorists in the country. I've been following his tournament advice at 2+2 since '01. The sad part is, now that he won the WSOP, he has little time to offer advice online any more.
It just happened that he won his entry to last year's WSOP in a double shootout at 'Stars. In '03, he won his WSOP entry in a satellite at Mohegan Sun, beating about 150 others (myself included) in a $50 +5 rebuy satellite.
