There will never, ever, be another WSOP Main Event Champion who people won't criticize for getting lucky. You HAVE to get lucky to win. It's simply not possible to not win without getting lucky. Playing solid poker day in and day out for that long, getting lucky along the way or not, these guys have my respect.
I'm not saying you guys are saying they don't deserve it or anything... I just think it's weird when people point out that the winner won a lot of coinflips and even some hands when they were behind. To me, that's so obvious. Of course that is going to happen. It has to.
