This year's World Series of Poker (WSOP) has been a good year for professionals. I'd mentioned before that the event needed professionals to do well, or at least better than the statistical average.
Overall, that's what happened. Phil Ivy, one of the best players out there, made three final tables and won two more bracelets (for a total of seven). John Juanda, one of my favorites, made four final tables. Daniel Negreanu "cashed," i.e. placed high enough to be paid, 8 times this year earning over $333,000.
Most impressive was Jeff Lisandro, a poker professional from Australia, who won three bracelets this year, one in each of the different types of seven-card stud. Lisandro could easily be described as the best seven-card stud poker player in the world (his other bracelet is also from seven-card stud, in 2007).
