Best NLH Tournament Player of All-Time

[Moyer]

I was surprised to see Howard Lederer missing from your list.

[Michael Davis]

You should consider adding Treetop Jack Strauss to your list.

Phil Hellmuth- his reading ability and instinct are unmatched in today's game.

Yes, the only person he can't get a read on is Norman Chad. Against him, Phil's reads have been worse than random decisions.

(This is from a recent "Nuts" segment on the WSOP. Even with selective ESPN editing, Phil's frustration and embarrassment make it clear that he is running awful.)

Because the first two wins came against a combined total of around 50 players. All you have to do is get ahold of the 1997 WSOP video and watch stu chew up the competiton like a bunch of party fish.

1. Doyle (no brainer) - as Norman Chad said, we have to wonder how many bracelets Doyle would have won if he had played in more WSOP tourneys.

2. Johny Moss or Stu Unger - I havent seen any of their play so I cant make a true decision based just on numbers; maybe one of them should be #1

4. Dan Harrington - as stated, 2 final tables in the 2 largest feilds in WSOP history, combined with his '95 win. Not the flashy, cocky, punks common in today's TV crowd; but you can't argue with his results.

5. Chan or Hellmuth - I havent seen much of either one's play; so I'm basing this on the results again. 9 bracelets each is pretty solid.

#1 up-and-coming - Keep your eye on Gus Hansen. With his post-flop playing ability, he will be around for quite a while.
