WSOP 50K HORSE Event - Final Table Predictions

Hello,

It's a little late to post these but I was in the middle of doing some other stuff. You will have to trust that I made these predictions around the start of the tournament. Anyway, here is my final table list for the WSOP 50K HORSE Event. They might seem strange but I have my reasons and I will post explanations next to each name.

Daniel Negreanu - His limit game is on this year and he plays all the games well.

Alex Kravchenko - A solid player who I think will surprise everyone this year. I am a little surprised that it hasn't happened yet.

Marcel Luske - He his due coming so close so many times this year. He plays all the games well and has made final tables in multiple game formats.

David Benyamine - With his three final tables and a bracelet in limit Omaha 8/B, why not? His game is on this year and I think he can go all the way.

T.J. Cloutier - Need I say more.

Allen Cunningham - I couldn't make the list without Cunningham.

Gabe Kaplan - He came awfully close last year and he is a solid limit player. Remember, he is an old school limit player who has a ton of WSOP experience. He is not just a goofy announcer and washed up TV star (OK, I'll give you that last one). He can play poker and learned from the best before most of us, even some of us older players, were born.

David Singer - Look for a three-peat here. He has done final tabled this event twice before finishing sixth both times. Why not a third? He is playing well this year and already has a bracelet to his credit.

Obviously there are many others who can or will make the final table. With a field jam packed with the best, no matter who I pick I am going to leave out great players. Out of 148 great players (for the most part, they are all great players) only eight will make the final tables. So no matter what, 140 great players will not make the final table. Can Hansen, Ivey, Dwan, Hellmuth, Doyle, Lederer, etc. make the final table? Of course. Any eight in the field can. But these are who I think will. I might be way off but I can also just as easily be spot on. We will have to wait and see.

See you on the felt,
