Who is your favorite world series main event winner

My favorite world series main event winner is Jamie Gold

He talked all the way through mostly telling the truth and know one believed him and he cleaned up not to mention he was severly lucky

Greg "Fossilman" Raymer, was the first series televised in Canada and he played great through the tournement.

Stu Ungar because he's freaking awesome.

In the last 5 years or so, it's got to be Joe Hachem. He's really the only one I respect much as a pro. I like Jamie Gold but his style doesn't work as well now that people are used to it. I haven't seen enough of Eastgate's play to figure out how good he is yet. From what I've seen, he's pretty boring to watch though. :P

Um I would definatly say Action Dan Harrington.
Maybe Huck Seed is worthy to.
Stu Unger definatly.
Them are my favorites.

Tom McEvoy

dan harrington

I don't know. Harrington seems very solid but from what I've seen he's kind of a douche.

huck seed and it's not close

Old time: Harrington
New days: Raymer. Moneymakers cool too, but Hachem is an asshole, Jerry Yang annoys me, and I don't know eastgate. Gold seems like a good guy though

Stu Ungar...

(1) Stu Unger
(2) Dan Harington
(3) Johnny Chang
(4) Dolye Brunsun
(5) Phil Helmuth

no...total jerk imo

Jamie Gold is an idiot!!!

I'm not a fan of Joe Hachem, but you have to admit, he is a pretty solid player!!! I don't think anyone knows much about Peter Eastgate. But in recent years I would say Hachem is way better than Moneymaker, Gold and Raymer.

As far as my favorite ME winner, I don't think I really have one.

By far the best and favorite would have to be Doyle.
Alot of you who do not know much about Eastgate must not watch the European games much, He had been making a name for himself on the European circuit before winning the WSOP '08.

As for who I favor the most, it would have to be a toss up between Eastgate and Doyle as they are both excellent players IMO.

Daniel Negreanu - his reads are very accurate every time

They may well be but he hasn't won the ME.

Stu Unger every time.

I'm surprised Jamie Gold's getting so much love.

Read a hand of Stu when he called all in for over 50k$ and this was a while ago his hand was 10 high.. his opponents 8 high.
Thats a call only a legend in poker can do there fore my choice is Stu!

1. Daniel hasn't won the main event, he won player of the year.

2. He has kind of sucked in the last two years, he's just become a calling station. Maybe he does better off camera but from what I've seen he's not doing so hot.

Negreanu -100% very good read oponents and very fun !

*sigh*

LMAO!!!

let me think.....

Phil Helmuth plays consistently good and always fun to watch.

i love to watch helmuth play ... he gets so mad when he lose to donks and the tournament director has to tell him to calm down many many time....sooo soo funny and he is also a great player

Can I get a [FACEPALM] !?!

negreanu or farha, good players and also cool guys at the table... i didnt really like jamie gold, he was getting unusually lucky + his displays of joy when winning an all in were kinda annoying

Well I havn't had TV for years, so I don't get to watch them anymore.

Chris Moneymaker because by winning he did so much for the game giving it a huge boom with loads of new players thinking they had a chance at glory too.

Potripper=SUPERLEGEND

In looking at what's been achieved as a result of winning the main event.

Moneymaker for creating a boom worldwide.

Hachem for opening people eyes to poker here in Australia.

Who is your favorite world series main event winner


the ****


how are people so dumb

wow people are dumb..I'm gonna go with Ferguson I suppose, though Unger seems fantastic.

im gonna pick the one(well moneymaker would fit here too i think) guy who resembles, and inspires me, greg raymer. i think i have a few pounds to go yet though.

I'm going to change my mind and go with Farha.

It is a well known fact within the poker community that Farha and Moneymaker played out heads up in their hotel room that night and Farha crushed Moneymaker (as he was supposed to). They agreed that Moneymaker winning with a massive bluff would start a huge boom worldwide and they split the profits.

*raises fist to right and glares angrily at fist, a la Stephen Colbert* MONEYMAKER!!!

I was inspired by the Ungar story that frankly it was owing to my interest in same that I became interested in playing poker. Let's face it this most diminutive man was a legendary giant of giants in so many ways - take his generosity for instance: walking with a friend in the street a guy goes up to stuey and asks him for some money. Stuey without thinking twice took a hundred dollar bill from his back pocket and gave it to the guy. After being thanked, a few moments later his friend asked "who was that?" Stuey drawled, "How do I know, sure if I knew the guy I'd have given him more!" His legendary generosity notwithstanding, when you add up all the ways in which he was special you realise that he was truly one of a kind.

Unique among people: Stuey didn't play the game for money. He played money for the game.
