Very true, think about it in another sense...

Professional sports leagues (NFL/MLB/NBA) usually have around 30 teams, and these teams rarely repeat.  Now granted, teams and players can improve from season to season (as can poker players, fyi...), but even still, teams don't win back-to-back very often.

Now the NCAA March Madness tournament, which is composed of 346 Division 1 Basketball teams.  There are a couple of teams that have back-to-back "good runs", but very rarely win it all twice in a row.

Now look at the WSOP.  With more than 6,000 competitors, there have been a couple notable players to make back-to-back runs recently (Matt Affleck).  But for the most part you are not gonna be able to guess at the very beginning, out of the field of 6,000+ people who is gonna be the one to win.

...But don't get confused and think that the WSOP is a crapshoot.  Look at all of the players that made it to the WSOP final table in 2012, and even in the top 100.  All good, accomplished players.  Obviously, in order to get that far, you do need to get a little lucky/run good...
