"Our own gavin smith"? I think you mean Gavin Griffin, and he is definitely not top 5. If your compiling a "Top 5 luckiest bracelet winners" then he might belong. His play shown during his WSOP win was pretty bad, and his lack of results since tend to lend credence to that. Can't luckbox your way to a win every time.

Exactly what "Luckbox" plays did he make, except the standard call of Hellmuth's limp & bet? Most every other play I saw was either a solid play or aggressive play, period.

Newsflash: EVERY SINGLE MAJOR TOURNAMENT WINNER WAS VERY LUCKY WHEN THEY WON!

Personally, from the results that we have seen out of Gracz in the poker tournies he's entered, he's been nothing short of remarkable. He knows when to bluff, seems to have an almost sick sense for when he's ahead in hands, and definately understands the tourney strategy by the back of his hand. Although I don't know if he plays cash games on a regular basis or not, I think Joe Cassidy and Michael Mizrachi both belong on the top 5 list of those under 25, you can't go wrong with either of these 3 players I've mentioned. You will be seeing alot more from these 3 guys in years to come, I promise you that.

sorry to bump this thread but gratz suckksss.

What about Erik Sagstrom? Swedish kid who just turned 21 and is reportedly the biggest money winner in history of online poker (speculation of between $5-10 million). Gus Hansen says he is the best limit hold 'em player in the world, and this guy plays for huge stakes in cash games, and is just hitting tourney circuit.

John Murphy had a decent showing at the 2004 ME and also won two tournaments this year...not too sure what types of cash games he plays in.

John Murphy... this guy is still around???
