So here are my simple opinions on the winners starting with the pseudo-millenium change.
 
2000: Chris Fergusson - 512 entries in M/E - Excellent Player, top level player.
2001: Carlos Mortensen - 612 entries in M/E - fluke (ish) LAP, above avg at best, but more lucky than good.
2002: Robert Varkonyi - 631 entries in M/E - FLUKE, his record speaks.
2003: Chris Moneymaker - 839 entries in M/E - FLUKE, above avg player with the lion's share of dumb luck. Lowsy showings since. But he was huge for poker.
2004: Greg Raymer - 2576 entries in M/E - Excellent player. Yeah luck is needed to beat this large field, but he earned it. Solid performance since, especially for a new comer.
2005: Joseph Hachem - 5619 entries in M/E - Excellent player. Yes he has a lot of luck and cards to beat this field, but still a top notch player. And seems like a very personable guy. And good results since last year.
2006: Jamie Gold - 8773 entries in M/E - No opinion. I only just now heard his name because of the controversy. I haven't finished watching the M/E yet. It is still airing. Wish I didn't know who won. I buffered myself from it so well, too, up until the story broke.
