As discussed in another thread I think the WSOP ME has become a TV tourney at best. It definitely does not mean the winner is the best in the world/pro poker- in recent years just the luckiest. (even looking at Joe Hachem at the FT when he won it - he calls a raise with connectors and flops the nut straight if I am not mistaken - I do think Joe is a better player than Gold or this years champ.


As for this years winner - I did not get to see all of the FT via internet feed so I will reserve my comments for later. I did see some of the praying he did and think that was annoying at best. On that same note I think that a lot of the new breed of players are annoying with all the hollywooding that goes on - one of the events ESPN air'd had a player who walked completely away from the table on every showdown - to me that is nothing more than showboating for the camera
