    I believe it was raymers winning the title in 2004 with a 23rd (i think) place finish in 2005, with harringtons back to back final table and phils 11 bracelets as close runners up..........
    love to hear your opinions thank you

    The dude at this year's WSOP ME who was mute and won an all-in against that Hevad Khan kid, then propped his foot on the table and pretended to reel in Khan like a fish. I remember watching and saying aloud to myself "Wow, this is the greatest accomplishment in recent poker history. Well done."

    "Recent" being one of the more important words in that question.

    If you wanted to go old school how about...........

    Ungar's drug problem escalated to such a point that during the WSOP main event in 1990, to which close friend and poker pro Billy Baxter had staked him, Ungar was found on the third day of the tournament unconscious on the floor of his hotel room from a drug overdose. However, he had such a chip lead that even when the dealers kept taking his blinds out every time around the table Ungar still finished 9th and pocketed $20,500.

    Unconscious and still placed 9th
