Who is your favorite world series main event winner

[chop]

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

 

[tgarner]

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.

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!

Potripper=SUPERLEGEND

 

[Grinderinoz]

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.

Daniel Negreanu - his reads are very accurate every time

the ****


how are people so dumb

 

[TheWall]

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

 

[ythelongface]

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.

Stu Ungar was definitely my favorite main event champion. Tragic story but life was interesting as hell.

My favorite living Main Event Champion has to be huck seed becuase he is just so damn cool.

Gotta go Joe Hachem ........ aussie, aussie, aussie !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Dantigua]

Players I Respect - Doyle, Raymer, Harrington.
"Others" - gotta say Jamie Gould - because if HE can win the ME... so can I!!!!

I've never heard that one before, and I don't believe it for one minute.
Sounds like one of those conspiracy theories.

 

[jdeliverer]

Clearly you're not "within the poker community" if you haven't been enlightened then.
