2008 WSOP Predictions

[OzExorcist]

So this is how I did...

- Barry Greenstein will make the final table of the $50K HORSE: CORRECT
- Nick Frangos will win his first bracelet: MY BOY NICK LET ME DOWN
- Marco Traniello will make at least seven cashes: NOT QUITE - FIVE CASHES
- Humberto Brenes will make at least two final tables, without winning a bracelet: NO BRACELET, BUT NO FINAL TABLES EITHER
- John Juanda will finish in the top 10 for Player of the Year: IS TOP 55 CLOSE ENOUGH?
- Chris Ferguson will win a bracelet: CLOSE, BUT NO CIGAR
- Phil Ivey won't win a bracelet: CORRECT
- Erick Lindgren won't win a bracelet: A BRACELET and PLAYER OF THE YEAR? YEAH, I WHIFFED ON THAT ONE
- Kathy Liebert will make the final table of the ladies event, but won't win: ERM... SHE MADE THE FINAL SIX TABLES... UNLESS Y'ALL WILL ACCEPT THAT BY LADIES EVENT, I ACTUALLY MEANT THE $10k PLHE. BECAUSE THAT'S A LADIES GAME, RIGHT?

Two from nine. Remind me to make more predictions along the lines of "Jean-Robert Bellande will act like a douche and not win a bracelet", "David Sklansky will do something creepy" or "At least one Full Tilt pro will end the series down six figures in publicised golfing prop bets" next year to bump my stats up

My predictions were:

A hot chick would make the ME final table (how could Tiffany let me down )
Tom Dwan win a wsop bracelet
Phil Hellmuth win a WSOP bracelet

All wrong.... but they all came close.

I personally think that Phil Ivey will shock the world. He might not win the ME, but he will get to the final table. He will win at least 1 event of decent size and buy-in.

It would only shock the world because a really good player making the final table would be amazing in that luckathon.

I couldn't have been more wrong with Ivey going to FT huh!!!

All 9 of the final tablers in the ladies event will in fact be ladies. 2324782934780927348097 to one against me anyone?

Careful I know that men have played in the ladies event on many occasions. Matter of fact I know that Phil Gordon has done this. I don't think he made the final table in any attempts.

Apparently Harrah's were very strict on the "ladies only means ladies only" point this year - I believe one guy tried to enter and was turned away.

Besides, like some of the coverage said: men playing in women's events is soooooooo 2003

yup... Tiffany Michelle wins any event she plays just for being there
in all seriousness though, yes. plenty of wsop bracelets have gone to women.
