The world's best NLHE tournament player. Phil Helmuth, Greg Raymer and Allen Cunningham are some of the contenders.

There have been some comments about people being results-oriented. Given a question about whether a short-stacked player should have folded or called, rabbit hunting is not the correct method of determining the answer.

However, results are factored into the question about which horse is the fastest. Of course there's luck in poker, but tournament successes can be considered when determining the best player.
