This reminds me of the story of this famous prostitute from the harbour town of Marseille, south of France.
She was famous because she could give a BJ and whistle the "Marseillaise" (France's national song) at the same time, but nobody knew how she did as she always wanted to perform in a dark room and refused to turn the lights on.

Anyway, this smart guy decided to find out how this was possible and visits her one evening. She gets down on her knees, turns of the lights and gets busy. And believe it or not, she starts whisteling the Marseillaise in the middle of everything.

The smart guy was very surprised it could be done, but he had come prepared, he had a Zippo lighter in his shirt pocket, so he takes it out, lights it and the second he looks down, just before he faints, he sees a glass eye resting on the table next to him.

I imagine if you asked the random English person 'Who is Chris Moneymaker' that under 1% of people would have heard of him.
Ask 'Who is Doyle Brunson' and you're talking 3-5%.

A win for a name player reinforces that the game is skill and not luck and generates interest in gamblers because they all think they can beat any game of skill.

My point, which i didnt spell out very eloquently is now that moneymaker last year creating the influx of interest wouldn't it be very good for poker if Brunson won it, due to his status as an author and as one of the most famous pro's out there, it would just be more publicity for poker, rather than another no name.

Yeah - kinda like if Jensen Button had won the Monaco Grand Prix, I guess?
