Who is the best Omaha 8 player in the world?

I think now that it is too vague a question for any of us to answer to answer simply.

since the biggest O8 games played anywhere include the vegas "big game" and the nosebleed stakes on Full Tilt, it would take one of those participants to give a reasonable answer. you can see Benyamine, Hansen, and Matusow playing their own heads-up and short-handed games almost nightly online and they all play WSOP events, and play cash games from coast to coast. I'm not saying any one of those 3 actually is the best, I'm just saying they might know of the overall most dominant player due to stakes played and wealth of experience.

of course, all 3 are probably egomaniacs, so you might not get an unbiased opinion out of them.
