Excuse Me! The AAPA was more important than the WSOP?

Yep that's exactly what I'm saying. How many events did Fossilman place in before the main event? Nothing against Greg, he must have played fantastic in order to win, but as far as the WSOP as a whole, Daniel played the best. His main event was pretty bad, but he won a bracelet and had multiple final tables.

too bad you can't pay the bills with awards.(I realize that in order to win the AAPA you had to make a lot of money, but he didn't make $5 mil)
I would take the $5 million before the award.
Even pros(daniel included) would rather win the main event. They don't really need the money, but to be the "world champion" is what its all about. Compare the prestige of the AAPA to that of the main event bracelet. Not close. Daniel was on crack when he said hed rather win best all around player.
