I'm glad to see a non-American response (including Andre Akkari). There's no denying the impact he's made on Brazilian poker. It's great for the game and in that part of the world, that's one person that deserves this title. Another similar one would be for Norwegian players, in Thor Hansen. He's considered the Godfather of Norwegian poker.
That's the great part of this, one's answer is influenced by where in the world they are. But it's funny to see that Doyle is on most lists.
As for Stuey, it really was too bad that his demons got the best of him because it would have been interesting to see how he would have fared against today's players. Heck, even against the crop of up and coming players in the 2007-2011 range.
