I'm so insanely jealous.

Phil Ivey also won 3 bracelets, in 2002.

If he wins this final table, he will join Hellmuth (1993), Forrest (1993) and Pearson (1973) with no. of bracelets in 1 year.

Hmm. Anyone remembers, what was the year of the claimed collusion pay (early 90s)? I think there was a claim of three players doing that. Did they play at the same tables?

I think that his success early in the WSOP is probably helping him to a great extent now. Just being aware that someone at your table has turned in such great preformances probably makes others very nervous, and also tentative to get in the mix with him. Especially in a hi-lo game, where everyone is drawing - he is probably getting off pretty easy by betting some marginal draws and getting folds.

Thats all just hypothetical though - I'm not in vegas watching. I would just assume that the more bracelets you win or FTs you make the farther you will go, without an increase in skill.

Negreanu made 5 FTs in 2004 too I believe.

Who is Jeff Madsen? I heard he has a million dollar bankroll.

That's it, I've failed. My 21 and 11 month ass is off to pasture. Poker is too much of a young man's game.
