Anyone else think Greg Raymer has a chance this year? I think he could win it.

Theres a pretty simple answer here.
He obviously has a chance seeing as he did win last year. But it will be extremely tough with such a large playing field this year. This is quite a thread. <font color="black"> </font>

Somewhere around 6600 people have a chance to win it.

With 6000+ entrants, the best player in the world (whoever that is) is probably no better than a 1000-1 dog.

The WSOP ME is good hunting grounds for the likes of the Fossilman. Intelligent, aggresive and willing to gamble Greg will play with cautious optimism and give them a run for their money. Unless of course, he busts out early.

I think Vincent Lepore will win the WSOP ME.

I think 2004 will be the year he finally takes it down myself. -

Phil Gordon (I think) wrote in an article he thinks the best players have a 500-1 chance in his opinion.

Vincent Lepore couldn't win a KoTZ tournament, much less the WSOP ME

And methinks this would prove it

How impressive for a 2+2 poster of five years [img]/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img]

F*ck NO!!!!

First of all, there will probably NEVER be a back-to-back WSOP main event winner again, unless maybe poker decreases SUBSTANTIALLY in popularity for some reason.

Second, if someone DOES win back-to-back WSOP main events, it will most likely NOT be Greg Raymer, because there's many way better card players then him.
