Best NL HE player of all time?

Just wanted to see who is regarded as the best ever no-limit Texas Hold 'em player.

I'll tally the responses and then I'll put up a poll with the top choices, if anyone is interested.

Well there could be a debate. He was one of the best.
I like Brunson for the consistency and longevity.

Rob Varkoni. The man is brilliant.

Well, Greg Raymer has the most WSOP earnings of all time, followed by Chris Moneymaker. There's your obvious numbers 1 and 2 right there.

But for real, someone should mention Dan Harrington just for completeness.

As much as I don't like to say it, he does have one helluva case for this title. 9 WSOP bracelets, all in hold'em, are very hard to argue with.
