To elaborate further, before you guys blow up all over me.

I realize that Hachem, Fossilman, and Moneymaker were all in their 30's. I'm not saying they were bad for the game. But at THIS POINT in poker, I thought someone different would be good for the game.

Moneymaker brought in all of the regular people who wanted to win the WSOP. We all know he changed the demographic.

Raymer was a super nice guy, who was good at poker. He was amazing for the game because he is so nice to people and so skilled at the same time. He's done an amazing amount of interviews, and still does more public appearances than Hachem because of his location and general likability.
