To clarify, suppose two of us have $10,000,000,000 bankrolls, and we're playing $1-$2 limit HE. Who is the better player? The one with the higher Sharpe Ratio, or the one with the higher EV?

In your question, you should add:
One of the players has a higher standard deviation, but also a higher EV such that the Sharpe's Ratio is lower.

So:

Player 1 EV > Player 2 EV
Player 1 Sharpes Ratio < Player 2 Sharpes Ratio
Player 1 SD > Player 2 SD

(Unless I missed something, I think the combination shown above is possible and not an impossible situation)

Who would you rather be if you had 10mil, and you are playing $1/$2?

I'd rather be Player 1.
