My guess is Phil Ivey.

I'm going to go ahead and disagree: I think winning the WPT Championship would change his life. I don't think you'd see him turning pro, but it buys him even more credibility in his favourite circles. He already has every material thing that he wants in life -- what's left but to explore interests and have accomplishments outside the spandex-and-juggling world? When Cirque implodes (I'm convinced it will), he'll still be obscenely wealthy. How nice to have a hobby you're good at!If he wins, he'll take every bit as much satisfaction in it as any winner would. The money will be relatively meaningless (one great party), but the accomplishment will make his life-list.And, to the posters who objected to his characterization as lucky -- get a grip. He has had awesome success, but a lot of that is on the back of some very high-risk enterprises where he did, in fact, get very lucky. The same can be said for almost any successful entrepreneur -- and all the ones I've met would agree.

I agree with your take on this - thanks for the support.I totally agree that founding an organization like Cirque takes an extraordinary amount of skill, work, dedication and yes, luck. Winning this will not change his life in a material way but it would no doubt be a tremendous accomplishment and bring a great deal of satisfaction. Not many people are able to succeed at the highest level in more than one area.

Uhhh, no. As much as Les Quebecois might wish it to be a separate country, Quebec is a province of Canada and not a country in any sense of the word.

]Canada talk talking talking Canada talk... I love it keep going eh?

I'm going to guess Brad Booth

obviously.brad, guy, baldwin, and a few others played in probably what was the highest stakes NLHE game of all time.the fact that guy was staking him would make sense as to why he bought into HSP w/ 1 milbrad is a balla, but he's not the biggest winner @ 200/400+ and i doubt 1 mil of his own wouldn't be a HUGE part of his br
