| Chances a pro may win the ME is probably less than 10 percent. Phil Ivey coulda taken it last year, ignoring the cards he even admitted to playing too passive. It was really weird play from him because we usually see him playing fearlessly at the table... maybe he wanted to change up his game to confuse the other players? Kinda late to guess but he missed his chance... I'm betting on a non-USA player to take it, just a feeling. If I had to pick a pro I would want to win it would be Daniel Negreanu, if Phil Hellmuth won we'd never hear the end of it. |

| Almost certainly a nobody, who will be greeted with cries of "what a donkey", "my grandma plays better than him/her", "ship me $10K and I'd so have played better" and other similar lamentations from the internet peanut galleries. |

My predicition ...>>> it won't be me so I don't really give a shit.. BUT.. I'm guessing it'll be one of the internet/younger crowd (maybe one of the more well-known online MTT regs, ie. Dan Kelly, Matt Stout, Steve Gross, etc. etc. etc.... zillions of them.. which kinda narrows the odds, lol) |

Remember that he's plenty capable of playing a TAG game as well, we just don't see him doing it in the games like HSP that we see him in. That's not to say I or anyone else actually expects him to win the Main Event, of course. I just think Dwan's probably got a better tournament game (when he's motivated) than people give him credit for. |

| There are so many entries in the ME now that it's become a crapshoot, much like the online satellites. It's like the lottery. Someone will win, but it won't be you or me and it probably won't be anyone you've ever heard of. It will be whoever is rushing for the tournament and has the skill to exploit that. |

| Why is there this almost global assumption that the ME winner will be a "he"???!!! Bluff Magazine declared 2010 to be "The Year of the Woman" and look what's happened so far--Annie Duke won the NBC HU Championship and Vanessa Selbst took down the NAPT ME at the Mohegan Sun. And there's always Annette Obestrad who is very very hungry for such a win, not to mention a number of other very skilled female players. I think the time has come for a woman to prevail. If that doesn't happen, I think we'll see one or even 2 gals at the final table... |
