Rank the past 4 WSOP champions from best poker player to worst
IIRC the past 4 champs were Fossilman, Moneymaker, Varkoni, and Ferguson. How would you rank them as NL tournament poker players?

Re: Rank the past 4 WSOP champions from best poker player to worst
My personal opinion would be:
1.Ferguson 2.Fossilman 3.Moneymaker 4.Varkoni Although I don't really have a strong argument for this listing...JMHO from what I"ve seen/heard/read. |

That is my vote as well, along with the same disclaimer.

Ferguson
Moneymaker Fossilman Varkoyni I also don't have enough history, especially on Raymer but with Moneymaker also getting 2nd in a WPT event I give him the slight edge (from my limited knowledge) |

Fossilman has way more experience, and better results in big tournaments than Moneymaker. That's not to slight Moneymaker in any way, but when you compare the track records of these 2, then the vote is clear for Fossilman over Moneymaker. Now, if you're just comparing the last 1.5 years, you probably have a case for Moneymaker. |

I'd definitely put Varkonyi in last place. As for the other three, it might be too close to judge.
I've always disagreed with those that say Moneymaker just got lucky. After having played in this year's WSOP, I can honestly say that to win the Big One in your first crack at it is no small accomplishment and it's incredibly difficult to do. |

IIRC, Carlos Mortensen should be in that list instead of Chris Ferguson.
