Whats considered the best achievement?

RichieLawlor

Negreanus 04 season would have to be in the top 5 of all time, quite unreal the year he had.

Sam Grizzle punching out helmuth would be one of my favourite moments but not really an achievement, how many people would love to do that.

are those chip stacks photoshopped? they're unbelievable! should be illegal too as if they got knocked over they'd splash everyone elses stack

stu ungar imo,also doyle has to be there aswel still being able to mix it up with all the new faces even to this day

I have to say Jennifer Harman

I think 2 wsop bracelets one in deuce to seven, I mean is that even a game, add to that the fact that she is has had not 1 but 2 kidney transplants and set up a charity CODA "Creating Organ Donor Awareness", she continued playing while waiting for her first Kidney transplant.. and she wrote the limit chapter super systems 2,

She is also married to this guy which is kind of brillant aswell..... lol

it's a pretty obscure question. Like, how do you define an achievment?

I do think Chan's WSOP run has to be up there, winning a tournament back to back and finishing runner up a third year in a row is impressive. The tournaments still had over 150 players, and the relative quality of the player was alot higher - ie a lot less players giving their chips away like there is in recent WSOP events.

Carlos Mortensen definitely has some impressive results. But, winning two huge tournaments 5 years apart can hardly be determined as a single achievment (if you count that as an achievement, then it's simply a question of who has the best tournament results). However, winning the Sunday half-million in back-to-back Sundays is very impressive.

Negreanu's year in 2004 was exceptional. John Phan had a great few months last year too.

would have said this was best achievment but was suprised that no-one had heard about it so i checked it out.
Not true although he did win it on 21st nov 2004 with 2182 runners and got 17th on the 5 dec 2004 with 2063 entries.
Not quite the same as winning back to back sunday millions
judging by the entries it was't even the sunday million..........

i quite like annette obrestrad's(annette_15) achievments to date for 2 reasons
http://www.pokerlistings.com/poker-player_annette-obrestad?show=bio
1 - she's built her bankrolls from freerolls and has never deposited money http://www.officialpokerrankings.com/pokerstars/Annette_15/poker/results/6D5BD1ADE6434909BEB751074A18CFF2.html?t=2
http://www.officialpokerrankings.com/fulltiltpoker/Annette_15/poker/results/D45E082222B742F0AF51111FEE5391F2.html?t=2
2 - she's still only 20 and still too young for vegas

she also won the $10 200k on stars with 20,000 entries

Then his fulltilt profile is wrong?

Mortenson definitely hasn't won back-to-back Sunday Millions.

If he has won back-to-back Sunday tournaments, it was when the Million was the Half-Million (guarenteed prize pool was only 500k when Mortenson won).

According to Scott Fischman's book, he won two in a row with different screen names (I think).
