Of the WSOP main even champions since 2002, I'd rank Raymer and Hachem as the best poker players. Raymer has won over $800K in live tourneys since his WSOP victory, and Hachem won over $2mil when he won the Doyle Brunson 7 months ago. Moneymaker doesn't really belong with those guys poker-wise in all the P*s adverts, but since he started it all I can see why he is there.
Who's better between Raymer and Hachem? I don't know. |

I believe he was in 2nd or 3rd place with about 800,000 chips. He called an all-in PF raise with 9 9. Villain had A K suited. River brought the king to knock him out. Quote:

Seeing as he was knocked out, he could only be playing against the 1st or 2nd place chipstacks. Are you hoping the player is pushing with 88 or worst. Any other hand is at best coinflip and its a coinflip against the only player(s) that can knock you out. |

Without knowing his position and reading the above comments, I have a kinder viewpoint on his play. |
