Alex Jacob, best tourney player of all time?

This young phenom burst on the live tourney scene after years of online cash game and tourney domination.

In 2005, he finished 27th in a WPT.

In 2006 he had his first WPT final table, finishing in a heartbreaking 2nd place for $650k.

He followed that incredible performance with a string of cashes and final tables in the 2006 WSOP. Only bad beats were able to keep him from multiple bracelets.

Feeling robbed not winning a bracelet after multiple dominating WSOP performances, Alex took a few days off to really work on sharpening his game.

With renewed focus, he attacked the WPT again in October 2006 with a 1st place finish for almost $900k, his first major title.

He followed that up with yet another money finish in a WPT a mere two weeks later.

2007 has been another banner year for him, already winning a $10k tourney, the Ultimate Poker Challenge Championship.

With a victory in hand already this year, he heads into the 2007 WSOP with unprecedented momentum.

He currently is massive chipleader at the final table in event 3, having sliced through a field of almost 3,000, now vying for a first place prize of over $700k and a coveted World Series poker.

I don't think the poker world has ever seen such a dominating and consistent tournament performer in its history. Most pros in the know are already talking about Alex Jacob as the best of all time, and in this case, they are unlikely to be wrong.
