In terms of all around poker playing ability it has to be Brunson. In terms of tournament NL ability only, than probably Carlos Mortensen. With his WPT championship win and the fact that he always seems to go deep in large fields and his back to back Party million wins shows he understands even the online NL tourney game as well.

Hachem is a close second. And I don't think Chan has adapted as well to the way the game is played now as well as Mortensen is able too.

Might agree with all of this if you didn't list Hachem who was he before he won the main event?

my vote goes to noel furlong btw

Re: Best Player To Win The Series?
 

I assume 'win the series' means ME. Probably could make a good argument for Chan, Brunson, Hellmuth, maybe even Harrington and a few others. I'd be surprised if this topic hasn't been done before, including a poll.

Edit: oh and Stuey duh.

It's on what he's done since winning. The next year he went deeper than any other ME winner and he finsihed 2nd to Dutch Boyd in a 6 max event. And later that year he won the 3rd most prestigious tournament of the year in the 15k buy in Doyle Brunson North American Classic.
