And I've seen him playing in the $2/$5 NL game in Vegas (2004). Does that mean he is/was a gerat/average/mediocre player? Of course not..... but then again, where did that bankroll go???

As for my ranking, I think anyone who doesn't have the confidence to put themselves ahead of a number of bracelet winners shouldn't be playing big poker (sure, you can play, but save your money for small games and not the WSOP). If you really think everyone who ever won the main event(especially in 2002 and 2003) is better than you, then I don't see why you'd ever choose to play against those guys - not to mention the hjundreds and hundreds of pros who are generally considered far more talented.

Man.... can you even imagine what this must feel like?

I got pretty close last year, and I have to tell you, I REALLY want one of these (the bracelet). It's gonna be awfully hard for me to get one if I don't play in more than one or two events each year though - that's for sure. Maybe next year I'll actually make it out there for some of the earlier events.

Wow, I wonder how much Party had to pay to get their name on the center of the table. Anyone know if they get that on every table of every WSOP event? That should definintely drive some additional traffic their way once these start to be shown on ESPN.
