for me it as to be Jeff Madsen, I got to meet him in Vegas and a very down to earth guy. To win two WSOP with in a few days and be the youngest player ever to achieve this, is amazing.

He was also broke when he went to Vegas, so rags to riches story. I recking he'll be around for a long time as a player

I played him a bit on ft and he seemed like a bit of a knob, but then again with 2 bracelets I suppose he can reasonably be a bit arrogant.

Antonius for me, by far the biggest winner in the biggest games.

Andy Black. great performances in aussie land....

Im telling you, he hoovers up chips early on in nearly all tournaments he plays. 525-1, he could be the dark horse. He must have gotten a load of backers cause he went down to 250-1 after 2 hours :eek:

LAY OFF NOW!!!!!! (if you can find someone mad enough to back him at 250s privately with you)

and freeroll on the Chief at 275/1.....

(easy knowing it's Cheltenham time:) )

More likely the fact that you backed him and that is one of the few bets placed in this tourney also Paddy Power would be the only bookies offering odds on this tournament so they wouldn't want too many more backing him as they have nowhere to offload their liabilities.
I'd imagine if anyone put 25e-way on anybody at 525/1 in the IO they would soon be down to 250/1.
