anyone who gets to the final table will have a lot of luck associated with it, the tournament is too big to be otherwise. Even if you go all in with pocket aces and are called 5 times, chances are you will lose once.

Absolutely incredible that Raymer is leading after Day 3. In a field this huge, seeing Raymer over a million in chips is just awesome. Out of the top 30 or 40 chip leaders, there's only a handful of big names around. Can't wait to see some of the ESPN footage. Their featured table has been pretty darn good (Helmuth when busted, Farha when dominating, etc).
Speaking of Greg Raymer... with 185 players left in the WSOP coming into Day 4:
1 Greg "Fossil Man" Raymer $ 1,064,000
He's the chipleader.

Of course, but you would take those chances every time. The winner will have to win a large majority of their coin flips (forget worrying about getting beaten with AA). In fact, the only times they can lose these are against short-stacked (compared to their own stack) players. Last year, Raymer played phenomenal poker. He also happened to get extremely lucky. You can't beat 5K players otherwise.
If he wins, it would be without a doubt, the single greatest accomplishment in the history of poker, considering the past two years starting fields.
Hmm. The WSOP has been going on for 30+ years. It's just gotten more popular. With a first prize of 7.5M and over 60M (I think) in prize money, what do you expect?

Where are all the top ranked asian players? Not enough TV coverage of them. Then again, america only gets engaged to stories such as kidnapped white girls, or any matter involving white people. If it was a person of any other ethnicity, there would be no news.
What are you talking about? The coverage has not begun. Asian players are covered all the time. I can rattle off 4 or 5 names only b/c of TV coverage.

All I am saying is that ESPN only does those little videos on the white players. They hardly mention asian or any other players of different ethnicities.
why? because he is one of the best big stack players around?
because he is a good player that most people underrates?
hopefully this will give his first win some legitimacy and remove the thought that it was all luck.
Is this the thing that Affleck one a few years ago?

nm, I googled it and found out he won the California State Championship.
