Veldhuis is debatable. His style would probably work really well online against a weaker field, but doesn't seem particularly effective against this subset of live players. I do think he'd do very well against a lot of other pros, but not the line up he was in.
I think Dario, Robl, Hellmuth's and Gus's quality of play are comparable to Negreanu's this season. Hellmuth got really dicked in a few hands, and Gus butchered his QQ hand. Dario's style seemed pretty good, but he ran into some bad spots.
Greenstein and Antonio may have played better by virtue of not entering many pots vs a really tough field.
Laak (via a small sample size) and Dennis Phillips have definitely been worse.
I don't think Antonius actually played particularily good or bad this season. He just seemed really card dead, but fortunate enough to get AA stacking AQ. He probably would play well given better cards though.
