Phil Hellmuth
Phil Hellmuth is one of the outstanding personalities in the field. He has thousands of admirers and haters because of his bratty behavior during the games.

Although no one supported him in this decision, Daniel was still confident with his skills and plans for the future.
At the age of 22, Daniel moved to Las Vegas to make his childhood dreams of becoming wealthy come true. However, he was bankrupt and returned home in just six months. Despite many losses, Negreanu continued playing.
Erik Seidel
Being a world-class expert in the game, Erik Seidel is still not a public person. Seidel ranks 4th all-time, with $38 million in live tournament cashes.

| Everyone will have different opinions about the great poker players, there will be people who like one more than another, but that will not take away from being able to learn from all the great players, each one has something very special, that's why they are where they are, playing at the highest levels of poker.

Even tho statistics do not give him, but i like his style of play, His attitude, the way he acts at the table with enthousiasm, constantely joking agains others. And has won many millions. So my favourite is Daniel!

| Negreanu lately , the last years , he has some issues with his mentality and effectiveness at games , or am I wrong , besides HU leaks in his games , I do not know ....Anyway , but the truth is that if you have some sponsors that give you a lot of money to play games , if they pay actually games for you , it's easier to increase your winrate and total money earnings . I mean , they say some won $35M , what about the spendings , the sponsorships , the cash games losses or winnings , etc etc , it's a long story .....

| Negreanu is good, but his results in recent years have been too small... than in the past

| Most famouspoker players are the ones who had many seccesses , but also the media loved them and they used this to their benefit . So in the top 5 , I am sure in th top 10 or even top 20 , we won't find players like Bonomo , who came , saw , played and won . They destroyed the game with GTO solving gameplay . Bonomo left the games , after he won far too many millions of $$$ , he didn't seek for media attention , the lights of the shows ......

MoneyMaker is also one of the most famous , at least he was until Black Friday anyway . Ofcourse he has not achieved many things after his success in the WSOP Main Event that gave him recognition , so what are exactly the criteria that poker players use to choose their most beloved players is a mystery , a mystery guy like Ivey would still have the same recognition even if he hadn't all these wins , thanks to his style that made him famous I believe .

| I see him on main event,at least on some videos on you tube in last days,so he still love wsop!

| Moneymaker went deep on this WSOP Main Event , I will not lie , i wanted him to mo further deeper , it would be amazing to watch him again in the final 18 , or even the FT itself , it would be awesome poker story , I was thinking how crazy it would be to win it again . Unfortunatelly he was beaten and busted out , didn't see his final hand , too bad , he had a very big stack earlier
|
| dule-vu | 16/11/2021 02:50:48 GMT |
| As I see on results he is out,but dont know on what position!
|
| antonis321 | 18/11/2021 23:35:00 GMT |
In a podcast during COVID lockdown I heard MoneyMaker saying that he is having some lessons , with 1 or more pros , so as to improve his gameplay , to become more competitive and fix some leaks on his game , I liked that when I frst heard/watched it . I think his result in this WSOP shows these lessons had a good effect . I think good results and wins are coming for Moneymaker in the near future

he learned very well in the past. Now maybe he will do it again, and it will be as you said

It should be number 1 for the famous. Without Moneymaker (what a good name) poker would not be what it is today. Possibly we would not be on this page talking about this or thousands of other topics related to poker. There wouldn't be as much streaming as there is today, nor would so many people sign up for those kinds of tournaments. The poker world must thank you

They were great inscriptions in my opinion, although I think that compared to other years it has been quite inferior. but hey, with the pandemic involved, I think they have been good numbers. If I'm not mistaken there were more than 6500 entries to the main event. The other tournaments I didn't pay much attention. Some that another is still playing

| dule-vu | 19/11/2021 01:15:42 GMT |
| Lot of countries had restrictions,so they would have even more players!

The older generation guys like Doyle Brunson, might interest more the fans , to get toknow to him better , how he bεcame a poker player , the difficulties he experienced , how was it several decates ago back then , when poker was not as popular as in later years or nowadays .
Some pros have stories about howmany times they went broke or when and how they found gams they had an edge so as to start winning , or stories for fish , how they picked them in the homegames or palyed against them wisely in cash games or tourneys.
Nowadays , the pros more or less do not have so much interesting and fascinating stories to share , especially the younger generation . It seems as if all of them gratuated math university , then began playing GTO and winning , all of them , more or less , lol
At least the most successfull of them . The pros .
