The Top 10 Greatest Players in World Series of Poker History
There really isn't any point in hiding the top spot on this list of 10 top performers in World Series of Poker (WSOP) history. Everyone knows it's Phil Hellmuth, for obvious reasons that will be further discussed later. But who are the other poker legends who fill in the remaining nine spots? We're going to make you read on for the answer.
We'll give you some hints about who you can expect to see on this list. Seven of them are Poker Hall of Famers, one will be soon, and one would have been inducted years ago if not for being involved in one of poker's most notorious scandals.
The criteria is, as with any Top x-list, a bit subjective, and we certainly welcome your thoughts. Feel free to agree or disagree with the Top 10. But the players were all judged based on number of bracelets won, cashes, final tables, the events they've won (the Main Event holding more weight than, say, a random $1k, for example), and we gave extra credit for those who've won WSOP Player of the Year.
