World Series of Poker: Main Event Prediction Boozefest
What event could be more impossible to predict than the World Series of Poker? For all we know, the final table of nine could consist of eight on-line satellite winners and Matt Damon.
Well, we here at E.K. Nation are going to try to predict the nine final table contestants, and the winner, on this, the eve of the main event of the 2005 World Series of Poker.
(They've paired up some of the top players in a head-to-head single action feature. We note with jollity that Mike Matusow and Greg Raymer have been paired up.)
Anyway, here's our completely fearless prediction for the final nine players at this year's main event:
As for who will win? Well, a five-dollar bet at Bodog will get you $4,500 if Surinder Sunar wins. And that's where our money would go. All hail the 2005 World Series of Poker champion, Surinder Sunar. Whom we are picking for no reason. Our only hope is that somehow we manage to avoid finding out who won it all before the shows air on ESPN later in the summer. It may be up to two months after the fact before the final table airs. Oh well, we shall do what we can. Shuffle up and deal.

Layne FlackNow, there is no rhyme or reason to this list of nine. We know that the final nine could be all as-yet unknowns. And frankly, we've never heard of Quinn or Waterman. But you gotta have some surprises in there.
Phil Hellmuth
Paul Maxfield
Daniel Negreanu
Young Phan
Shawn Quinn
Surinder Sunar
David "Devilfish" Ulliott
Dennis Waterman
