What is the Greatest WSOP Achievement of All-Time?
What is the Greatest WSOP Achievement of All-Time? Why?
People always post people like Darwin Moon or Jamie Gold, bad players who had one tournament sun runs. Id say that someone like Fedor Holz who was sunrunning in multiple tournaments over years is a much bigger sunrunner than Moon and Gold, even though Holz' skill level is obviously much higher.
Jamie Gold, and no one will ever come close. Dude was either always ahead or sucked out in every hand for four days straight.
Joe Cada was down to one big blind on day five the year he won the WSOP ME.
In 1982 Jack Straus pushed in his stack on the first day without saying anything and lost. He stood up and when he picked up his drink he noticed a $500 chip under the napkin. Sat back down and won it.
Founding it. That's where the real money is made.
Second would be buying it from the founder. Same reason.
HOFer Corky McCorquodale not knowing the Vietnam police action was going on in the 70s deserves an honorable mention.
Does Mizrachi with 4 PPC titles win this poll if it’s asked again?
I would hope so. He is absolutely now on the GOAT short list.
Shiina Okamoto just added her name to the list.
Its still Helmuth but I think Grinder winning 4 PPC is the clear #2 just because of how tough the field is.
I think The Grinder moved up a few rungs on the ladder today.
Dan Harrington 1995 ME champ, 3rd and 4th in 2003 and 2004
Harrington also made the final table in the 1986 Main Event, finishing 6th. Final tabled the main 3 decades in row
The Grinder or etay has to be the best of all time.
