First of all, congratulations on your performance in the main event. Well done.
There has been a lot of debate on these forums about what effect the poker boom and internet qualifiers are having on the main event.

...but the bottom line is that the last time I checked very few top names were left - a bunch of internet nobodys are still in... like i told you it would be about a million times and no one would listen. poker is a friggin' idiot fest now, a luck contest with a tiny portion of skill for good measure. The variance has gone WAY up, particularly in collosally huge internet fueled tournaments. you either get the hands or you go bust....

Having just played in the event and made it to Day 4, I curious what your opinion is as to the quality of play. I'd especially like to know what you think of the players that remained on Day 4.
My guess is that most of the players remaining are quite talented and deserve to be there.
