Very well said Chad and IveyFan .... most of the people who post here are immature morons who have yet to ever leave the safety of Internet play. You must have considerable skill to win a tournament with 800 plus people, many of them professionals .... people don't seem to understand that ESPN shows you .5% of the hands that are player .... Moneymaker had 60,000 in chips after Day 1, among the leaders, he didn't attain that position by being lucky. In addition, he also cashed high in an Omaha tournament in the WSOP ... the man clearly can play poker, people should give him his props. It's quite likely that a quarter of the people currently playing Hold Em would not be doing so if not for broadcasts of his win.
