Daniel Negreanu, Ted Forrest, or Doyle Brunson, and Chris Ferguson are all likely candidates IMO.
Chip Reese is my hero for knocking off "Mr. Champion" in the first round.

i like Phil Hellmuth and hoped he would have lasted longer to face Jesus for a re match of last year. He'sa damn fun to watch.

Well... Hellmuth lost so i have no clear favourites... But Sheikhan knocked out Brunson? Im gonna say like a great man once said: Freaking donkey stuff

2 questions: how in the name of flying f*ck could Sheikhan beat both Gus Hansen and Doyle Brunson? And, why the hell would you guys like a punk-ass like Phil Hellmuth?
I'm waiting to do my Sean Sheikhan elimination dance when that bastard finally goes out.

cause he's good TV ! :)
I prefer Hellmuth 10x more than Mattusow for example...Mattusow is just trying to get under ppl skin and keeps going on and on.
Hellmuth is just a true bad loser, and as being a bad loser myself it feels good watchin him :>

You guys realize that the vast majority of their "personas" are doctored and editted to make better TV, right?

1. I like Hellmuth because his the best people-reader in the world.... He loves the game, he plays the game, he beats the game! The reason he has a big ego is because his too aware how skilled he acctually is.... And he sometimes act littlebit bad, but thats what happens with a bad loser when he keeps getting beat by unaturally lucky players like for example Hoyt Corkins!
2. Sean Sheikhan on the other hand, cant play the game, has no manners and is also almost incredibly unintelligent... Main event 2005, seing him trying to win an argument Vs. "the mouth" was patethic

I dont doubt Hellmuth overdoes it on purpose for TV but I doubt he gets anyone asking him to do it.
You also have people like Phil Ivey, you think TV crew asks him to sit there for hours with mouth open, not saying a word...in others words : be kinda boring to watch play ?
