Moneymaker and Fishman at final table

[BrianSwa]

from what fossilman said at his table during the rebuy.
pokerstars paid the entry fee but he had to buy all his add-ons and rebuys, so yes they got paid entry's.


As for how good chris is, he is better then me and better then alot of people on here. When you say you made the final table of a WSOP then come talk to me. Yes TP you can talk, I dont care what anyone says about him he is good enough to take down the main event. Sure he got lucky at times but who can say they won the main event without getting lucky?

Thanx TP, thats why i meant, thanx.

Thats not my point brian. Take the winners of the main event up to date.

Doyle Brunson - genius
Johnny Chan - still going strong
Scotty Ng - also still going
even fossilman has had more places than moneymaker

All im saying is that he is the worst player to win it so far.

I don't think Chris would even argue with this (although one could make an argument for Robert Varkonyi). Chris is a lot better now than he was when he won, and he'll be the first to admit it.

[BrianSwa]

I never said he was the greatest player just dont like people saying he is terrible. It took alot to get where he is today.

[eejit101]

ok, ill give you that hes better than before. But look at poker superstars, did he place? no. look at MvsF game, did he place? no! look at WPT tourneys, he plays them all, does he win? no!

Do you think Phil Hellmuth is a good poker player? How many cashes has he had since Chris won the 2003 WSOP? Not that many come to mind...

[eejit101]

No, but....

Phil is a great poker player, thats like saying Doyle Brunson isnt good because he doesnt cash often. Phil cashes alot in smaller tourneys, and he has 9 WSOP Bracelets. Any1 with 3 or more is a HOF player in my book.
