Completely disagree. Raymer had outs when he went all in against Matusow who actually made a horrible call in that spot. Moneymaker was the one calling all-in bets with inferior hands and catching up. Calling against Brenes's AA with 88 and 2 over cards on the board was just inexcusable, he had to be pretty sure he had 2 outs at best. If you cite Raymers play against Matusow then you have to equally hate Moneymakers play that knocked Chan out of the tournament, Chris CALLED an all in with nothing but a draw. I totally agree you have to get lucky to win a tournament these days, but Chris played FAR worse and got FAR luckier than Raymer did. Raymers good cards held up in coin flip situations, Moneymaker was content to call on the short end of things and catch.
