Default Greatest Player Never To Have Won The Main Eventf?

Who is the greatest player never to have won the WSOP ME? Is it the obvious answer TJ Cloutier (all the cash finishes, biggest money winner at WSOP never to have won ME, the books, coming second to Chris Ferguson (got rivered) all the other final table appearances in the ME).

Does anyone else have any other plausible candidate?

Would anyone consider Sklansky or Reese such a candidate?

What do you define as greatest player? Greatest tournament player, or greatest poker player?

Dewey Tomko right up there. Also 2 2nd places in ME. 3 Bracelets. 34 Final Tables. But yeah, depends on what you're talking about. I mean, could be Ivey at this point.
