When will we have next repeat WSOP winner?
The only players to win the WSOP more than once are Moss, Brunson, Ungar, and Chan, all of whom are almost legendary figures. When will someone do it again? I think it is a little more difficult now.

Re: When will we have next repeat WSOP winner?
There are some amazing players nowadays -- arguably better than there were in yesteryear -- but the sheer numbers make it such a longshot. Look at Dan Harrington: two final tables two years in a row. That is a feat I doubt few will replicate in the near future, let alone WINNING the whole potato.

It'll happen when the buy-in is raised to keep out the riff-raff.

Re: When will we have next repeat WSOP winner?
It's not the bad players in themselves, but the bad players attract average professionals and strong amateurs who wouldn't have played when most of the field was world class players. Guys like Raymer, Moneymaker, Varkonyi (I know Raymer > Moneymaker > Varkonyi), Arieh, Williams, and Krux probably wouldn't have played when the field was stronger. When you put several hundred fairly strong players like this is a field with maybe 50 established world class players, it is more likely one of the fairly strong players will win, because there are so many more of them.

Surely you can see the difference between low-limit ring games and monster-sized tournaments?
