As much as I agree that he is a lucky player, so was everyone at the 2003 WSOP final table and so is everyone at any final table. Dan Harrington got lucky a few times as did others. Here's a little list of "lucky moments" for CM.
1. 1st - WSOP Main Event (800+ Players)
2. 2nd - Bay 101 Shooting Star (200+)
3. 3rd - Jack Binion Mid-America Poker Classic (200+)
4. 10th - WSOP Pot Limit Omaha (250+)
