Phil Ivey...why?
read my sig...'nuff said... 
seriously though, Moon shouldn't be too comfy with his lead, players like Ivey can surely turn tables around...

I think begleiter will win it, he got the luck he got enough skill to win this tourn!
Another great player which im rooting for is akenhead!
Last but not least i would rather see the french guy the best skilled player ever saw in the wsop balmigere in the final table, he would take it down but he got unlucky:/
txcreaper:
I really don't think Begleiter has got that much skill. Skillwise I would even put him in the bottom three.
Anyway Shulman got my vote but watch for Akenhead if he doubles up early!!! ♠_cool:
ivey is not such a big favourite... I mean, he's the best poker player in the world but that doesn't say he gets extra 10M chips or rebuy if he fails in coinflip. and the other players had (have had? english is so confusing!) months to prepare themselves. some of them are doing well this year. ivey tries to win the ME every year, every second year he runs deep. this year is not so special, he just got one step closer.
my vote is for buchman. he has experience, holde'm knowledge (cashing limit tourney, that's something) and he is deep stacked.
and perhaps we will have another yang? that will be nice to watch..
Darvin Moon - If he'll run as good as he's been running thorugh out the event, he's unstoppable with his stack. Thing is, even if he makes the final 2, im sure he'll get crushed by the others HU if he doesnt have a dominating chiplead.
Eric Buchman - Seems pretty solid, given his big stack he's a serious competitor.
Steven Begleiter - From what i've seen he's a bit loose to the point fishyness.
Jeff Shulman - He seems to be a pretty good solid player. He doesnt show much motivation and drive, he seems like he could care less about winning. Im sure this isnt the case, but you really gotta want to win this.
Joseph Cada - I like his play so far, seems to mix it up a bit.
Kevin Schaffel - Not much to say about him.
Phil Ivey - They said in the WSOP broacast that the money isnt an issue for ivey. I think that's pretty much true. While others might try to sneak their way higher up the money, ivey will surely go for double up or bust. Ivey's in it for the win, the paycheck might be nice, but that's not why he's here. He wants the title, and is probably the most motivated and experienced. The only thing that stands in his way is his stack, and if he manages to double up, he'll terrorize the table.
Antoine Saout - They didnt really focus on him in the broadcast.
James Akenhead - Seems pretty solid too, if he doubles up im sure he'll be dangerous.
That being said, either buchman or ivey will ship it imo. Dont want begliter to win, it's like jamie gold all over again 
The biggest luckbox will win .. So far it is Moon ..
I voted ivey simply because he's one of the best players in the world and has been called that alot so he should also win the biggest tournament there is 
the shortstack arguement isnt really true since he still has 40BB which is Quite alot really.
and even if he had like 15 BB left, ANYTHING can happen. you guys must know that if you've played poker at all i assume. just 1 double up and he's got a good amount of chips.
Hi Guy's first post, just joined the site. 
I'd like to weigh in behind Ivey, only because it'd be nice to show that huge skill does have a place at the final table , and its not just a shootout once the blinds get to nosebleed proportions. I'td reassure people like myself that it's worth learning the real intracacies of the game and stepping up levels gradually, not just donking in any old hand and hoping, like some on last years final table. ♦
I hope that whoever wins also introduces another poker boom like Moneymaker did a few years back. Eeastgate was a pretty miserable ambassador for the game, but hopefully this years winner will have what it takes to reach fishies through the camera and say that if he can do it, so can they!
Though secretly I'm hoping Ivey wins, cause he's got mad skills and bloody well deserves to win!
We all know Phil Ivey is the best of these 9, but everyone will need some luck to win here... I think Shulman will win it.
