I am getting sick of my friends saying "Raymer just got lucky."

As for luck, how about Johnny Chan's 11 coin flips in a row in the ME? Surely Chan is a great player.

Is this oft-repeated legend (which I've heard with every number from 8 to 20 in it) actually documented anywhere reliable? Not that it's all that far-fetched, but I don't think it belongs in the realm of "known fact".

Or Sammy Farha last year, calling all in against quads early in the tourney and hitting his SF.

That's how legends get started I guess. The money went in after he hit the straight flush, not before.

which fuel my posts. another guy said that Greg was leading the tournament for days, when he actually started leading when the players were well into the money down to 32 players. granted, leading when it counts is a good thing, don't get me wrong, but simply giving credit where it's not due is going above and beyond.
