How does Madsen make the list, but no Raymer or Ivey? There are lots of tourney players better than Madsen. How bout Cunningham, Siedel, or Harrington?

T,

Raymer has what, one WSOP bracelet? Madsen has 2 and a 3rd place finish in his first month of tourney play. Ivey I am not sure if that guy plays tournaments, I think he is mainly a cash games player. Cunningham? Not sure who he is. Seidel I think just got second place, losing to the great Johnny Chan. Harrington I know writes some great books, but I am focused on guys who play a lot of tournaments and are WSOP bracelet winners in this poll (and guys like John Gale who are both WSOP and WPT champions).

You're kidding right (I hope)? Ivey I think has 5 titles in WSOP, Cunningham I believe 3 at least, Seidel 8 or 9, etc. Where is Chris Ferguson?

imso,

OK, I do not know who this cunninham guy is, but i'm pretty sure you are confused about Ivey. He plays in the big cash games (mainly Stud) and is not a tournament player. I am not sure about Seidel, but I know for sure he lost to Johnny Chan when Johnny Chan trapped him with the nuts in the WSOP and I would be surprised if he really has 8 or 9 titles (maybe you mean final table appearances, which is a different thing), 1 or 2 would be more believable.

Seidel has 7 WSOP bracelets and is currently 11th alltime on the Hendon Mob money list.
