Any answer someone comes up with is subjective because the game has changed so much.

When Stu won in 1980 there were only 73 entrants.
When Sty won in 1981 there were only 75 entrants.
When Stu won in 1997 there were 312 entrants.
I would guess that *none* of these players has played a million hands of poker.  That's a hard number to get to without multi-tabling online.

In the post-Moneymaker era, the WSOP Main Event has averaged about 6,300 players.  Far more of these players have read and studied and applied themselves to the game.  They play millions of hands online and know the game thoroughly.
Yes there are donkeys, but there are a lot more sharks than there have ever been in the game.

Phil Ivey winning two bracelets and making the ME final table last year, then winning another bracelet this year puts him on the top of the list in my opinion.
Most poker professionals today point to Ivey as the best poker players in the world, and the worlds has never been this poker savvy before.
