Rarely, if ever do Chip and I agree, this won't be any different. Moneymaker beat a MUCH shorter field than Raymer or Hachem, not 2000+, and he was the very definition of LUCKY to win that tournament.
Varknonyi simply got dealt cards that wouldn't let him lose. I'll never forget the call of the match, I think it was Gabe Kaplan (maybe not) who said "And Robert Varkonyi's hard luck continues" after Varkonyi looked down at AA for the third time in 10 hands, something like that. At least we all learned that Q 10 is the nuts.
I think Hellmuth still hates him, though Hellmuth hates everyone that isn't named Phil Hellmuth.
