I posted this in another thread, but if he took this one down, he'd pass Jamie Gold as the all-time leading money earner in tournament poker.

Of the 5 biggest tournaments in the world (prizes+prestige imo): ME, 50k Horse, WPT Final, EPT Final, Aussie Millions, Hachem could potentially be the first person (afaik) to win 2 of them.

I would call that a fairly big accomplishment.

Not to mention a regular WPT victory, which would be in my "second tier" ranking of tournaments.

If Hachem were to win this tournament, I'd equate it with a golfer winning the Masters, British Open, and another high end non-major like The Players Championship.

Carlos Mortensen has won the WSOP ME and WPT Championship, and Joe just eliminated in 11th.

PCA and WSOPE are definitely better to win than Aussie Millions

Aussie Millions has a relatively good TV distribution contract with News Corporation Limited: FSN (FOX Sports Net) in the U.S., FOX Sports International (FSI) syndication in the rest of the world with the exception of Australia and New Zealand.

If your are going to use money winnings as a measurement along with "major" titles you must adjust for inflation, so Stuey should place pretty high on anyones list.
