The reason I'm only including Raymer and Harrington is:
1. Record number of players, anywhere from 6 to 60 times the field size of when Johnny Chan or Doyle won back to back. 2. Last year, Norman Chad declared Dan Harrington's back to back final tables as the greatest achievement in ME history. |

If we're ignoring Harrington's win in 95 I think its Raymer by a nose. His 1st place out of 2500+ and his 25th place finish out of 5600+ are just slightly more impressive to me than Harrington's consecutive final tables. No disrespect to Harrington but I gotta give this one to Fossilman.

I can't believe this thread is 7 hours old and nobody has worked out the probabilities.
If the performances were picked out of a hat, for a given player to achieve Harrington's finishes or better would be 1 in 166666, Raymer's would be 1 in 560000. Of course, since the finishes were not picked out of a hat, the argument would then be whether Harrington's fields were sufficiently more difficult to overcome difference in likelihood. |

I voted for Raymer originally, but now I remember seeing a picture of Raymer at the table with a McDonalds soft drink cup, and noted at the time this is -EV compared to getting soft drinks in bulk. I feel this tarnishes Raymer's accomplishment, as Harrington would never make such a -EV play.
And this theory is just as silly as trying to debate this issue, especially with Chan not included, which would make it even sillier trying to figure out if making it heads up 3 years in a row in a smaller field is a bigger accomplishment than final tabling in a vast field. |
