I was glad to see Doyle Brunson do well in this year's WSOP as well - the old school players are generally being left behind by the "dead money" players lately. They're catching up in knowledge and ability.

Yeah I was pulling for him as well. Regarding the dead money players..I don't think in all cases it's that they have more knowledge or ability..I think they just don't know how to bet, or when to lay down and it's confusing the shit out of the real players.
For instance in one showdown between Hellmuth and one noob the guy was drawing dead on the flop..Hellmuth already bet into him the guy calls...on the turn he's still drawing dead Hellmuth increases the bet into him *if I remember correctly he was holding a pair of Jacks* and the guy calls...finally on the River the guy pulls out a queen to make a pair...Hellmuth just shook his guy and said.."You kept calling me the whole time while drawing dead?"
At another time...Hellmuth got up and walked to a camera guy and said something like..."these guys will bet on anything."
LOL I see the same thing on PartyPoker all the time. People just betting and betting non-stop and not having a single pair in their hand
