I really don't think we have enough information to make this decision and am tempted to lock this thread. What say you, unwashed masses of the WPT forum, should posts like this live or die?

What conceivable reason could there be for locking this thread?

We don't have enough information? So what? That's why it's fun to talk about. It's not like the results of this poll are being sealed and sent via armored car to Harrah's so they can ban the winning player. It's just a poll on a message board. The results don't affect anything.

Re: Least likely to make WSOP final table again
 

My reason for thinking about locking this:

Questions for which there can be no correct answer, especially about people that we don't know, tend to turn into pretty horrible threads wherein people pretend to know something but really don't. I just wasn't sure it was an exercise that would go anywhere.

I'm very happy to see that this thread turned out pretty good, so like, yay WPT forum and stuff.

I saw no point in voting in a meaningless poll (I didn't vote for Bush or Kerry either), but seeing it made me think of Black as the least likely to be heard from again. After all the trauma to his kharma in the WSOP, he is likely to re-retire to years of meditation in a Tibetan temple. By the time he re-emerges, the Main Event will be an online tournament, with tens of thousands of entrants, most qualifying through sats. The Main Event will consist of 6 months of sats follwed by the actual online MTT, which will also take 6 months. The final table will consist entirely of bots from India.

Winner.

Without looking at the poll its going to easily be Aaron "Luck Box" Kanter.

Re: Least likely to make WSOP final table again
 

Kantar won $40k and a WPT at Bay 101..
Danneman did good in the TOC..

Is Lazar the fat guy? Is he known outside this WSOP? He seemed to make a lot of questionable plays to me...

Re: Least likely to make WSOP final table again
 

Any WSOP event?

I'd be shocked if Matusow didn't make another one.

Hachem has already made another WSOP final table (Las Vegas circuit event).

Danneman made the final table of the TOC.

So, they are all out (or should be).

Even if you don't consider those WSOP events, they have shown the ability to make final tables repeatedly.

Barch has finished in the money in WSOP and WPT events before, and if he plays long enough I imagine he'll make another WSOP final table.

Black has had a lot of good results, including a high finish in a previous WSOP main event. So, he's also someone I would expect to eventually make another final table in some event if he keeps at it.

That leaves Lazar, Kondracki, Bergsdorf and Kanter.

It seemed from the TV coverage that Kanter made some pretty donkish plays, but he has managed to win a couple smallish San Francisco Bay Area events since then. He also has a WPT cash finish. He at least seems to play in a lot of tournaments, which makes it more likely that he'll make a final table in some event some day. Hey, if Doug Lee can keep making final tables, why not Kanter?

So, my money is on Kondracki, Bergsdorf or Lazar. As far as I know, this is the only event anywhere in the world that Bergsdorf has ever cashed in. He's based in Europe, and so it would not surprise me if he didn't make the WSOP regularly (or ever again).

For that reason I guess I'd go with Bergsdorf, if I were forced to choose.

Re: Least likely to make WSOP final table again
 

Lazar, this shouldnt even be in question.

Re: Least likely to make WSOP final table again
 

Anyone else believe that Dannenman has been playing a lot longer than he says ? No way you could play no limit hold em for 3 months and make it through that big of a field, without someone having trapped you earlier in the tournament. It's IMPOSSIBLE.

Re: Least likely to make WSOP final table again
 

Robert Varkonyi. Oh wait, he's not on the list. I'll go with Kanter.
