Almost all the names are gone.
This just shows how ridiculous those betting lines were and makes sure that another unknown will most likely win this again.

Just more proof that good players are overhyped. Not only do they make bad plays as well but there is so much luck of all types in tourney poker that getting to the final table is more luck than skill for any of the individuals on it. Just look at this thread and see all the people who are supposedly "name" players who in reality just are decent but got luckboxed into winning a tourney or 2.

If this were not a typo, it would be hilarious.

An interesting day 1 strategy -- this guy is obviously playing no hands except for one successful blind steal per orbit.

[uclabruinz]

Yeah, I busted Gus Hansen so he must be overhyped. LOL.

If he can simply do that, it is brilliant.

Yeah. If he can keep it up, he'll get 2nd place.
