I'm glad Antonius is on the ropes to be honest The prestige of this tournament should go to a player with a long, proven track record of B&M play, not an internet hotshot [/ QUOTE ] Yes, why bother even playing the event. Just have professional poker players submit their curriculam vitae's and have a panel of distinguished arbiters decide who deserves to win the tournament. /end saracsm

Re: \"Official\" WSOP Event #20: $50,000 H.O.R.S.E.
Antonius might have a short career thus far, but just because he hasnt "paid his dues" does not take away from the fact he is an OUTSTANDING NL and limit hold em player.
Maybe that does not equate to the optimal credentials in your book, but there are plenty of worse players to give the bracelet to, trust me.

In the last year, he has cashes in live tournaments for $1,000,000+, $300,000+, $100,000+ twice, and $60,000+, and that is NOT including his cash in this event.

We have 3 of the 4 most famous/best mixed game players in the world at the table. Look at the top 20 from the chip count after Day 1. Some really strong names like Cunningham, Cassidy and Ly, but about 5-6 guys I've never even heard of and another 8 or 9 that wouldn't be worth even talking about for one post. http://cardplayer.com/tournaments/results/3209?day=9989
