Default Worst WSOP Final Table Ever

The worst WSOP final table ever was either 2002 or 2005.

2002 top seven:
Robert Varkonyi
Julian Gardner
Ralph Perry
Scott Gray
Harley Hall
Russell Rosenbloom
John Shipley

2005 top seven:
Joseph Hachem
Steve Dannenmann
John Barch
Aaron Kanter
Andrew Black
Scott Lazaar
Daniel Bergsdorf

I challenge you to find a worse WSOP final tables than these two. Here is a link where the final table finishers are listed.

Ive never seen 2002, but it doesnt look too hot. Black & Barch alone made the 2005 table a good one, especially if you listened on Cardplayer and didnt go by just ESPN.

2002 didn't have big names, but I think it was mostly pros. 2005 had some good players, but it is probably the worst ever.

Though Gardner was very young, he was already a pro, and has put up some decent results since then.

I may be wrong, but I want to say that Ralph Perry had made a previous WSOP Final Table.

Hall, Rosenblum, and Shipley were/are all accomplished pros.

I'd have to disagree on 2002. Rosenbloom, Gardner and Shipley are all top players.
I don't know that 2004 was any better. You only really had one name player going in..Harrington.

I think there were only one or two weak players in 2004, although only one big name. I think there were 4 players with previous final tables. Raymer and Willaims were obviously strong, although not established pros.

He's had some good efforts since, but you can't say he was a name player going in.

No he was literally the best player you never heard of, similiar to Allen Cunningham before this year...and of course I'm talking about the "general poker public" not people in the know.
