this guy is a player with some concept of pot odds and pf aggression, but overall is a horrible player with very little skill or experience. He used a lot of aggression combined with a ton of luck to win the tournament, pretty much the same as Gold. Although honestly I think Gold probably plays better than this guy. Edit: and the other players played awful and basically gave their chips away to him (what the hell were you thinking Hilm and Watkinson!?!?!)

Hachem has proven to be a very solid and skilled tournament pro, Raymer had a ton of experience and obviously a deep understanding of the game, and Monemaker.....well he had a great last name.

Unfortunately the Main Event has become some what of a circus, and the final table play this year may have been the biggest joke yet.

I think the days of the ME champion becoming the ambassador of poker and immediately gaining significant respect for their accomplishment ended last year. Yang is just carrying the torch that Jamie Gold lit last year.
