Shuffle Up and Deal!

The first tournament of the WSOP has begun!
It's time again! The World Series of Poker has officially started and both Professianals, and Rookies are once again ready to chase the dream of the poker bracelets. The $40,000 No limit tournament has begun and Many professinals are registered within the tournament. Pros like Phil Hellmuth, Chris Ferguson, Doyle Brunson, and more!
With Poker becoming more and more popular everyday, more people have been rushing to Vegas to try and win the ever sought after bracelets. That makes it harder every year for the Pros to chase the bracelets. This year however could be different.
Not since 2001 has a pro won the Main Event (the biggest tournament cash prize) when Carlos mortenson won. Since then a string of unkowns (some who would make names for themselves) has won the tournament.
The Pros haven't been quiet though. Pros are always making final tables, and cashing, and even winning bracelets. With an economy in the sahpe it has been people don't have the money to go and chance a shot at a bracelet. If the field of unkowns is shortened with the field of pros only getting bigger, it's only a matter of tie before we see the Pros dominate the tables again.
Could you imagine a WSOP main event final table with Hellmuth, Brunson, Ivey, Matusow, Cunningham (who came so close in 2006 finishing 4th), and Duke all at a table battling for the biggest prize in Poker!
This is the year of the Pros I predict, I think the Pros will all step up there game and start living up to there reputations and take those bracelets. So I am here predicting that a Pro will win the 2009 WSOP Main event! Which Pro?
My three picks
1: Phil Hellmuth
2: Mike Matusow
3: Scotty Nguyen
All three have come very close in the past years, with Matusow making a final table in 2005, and Scotty, finishing 11th in 2007.
Good luck to all pros,
Shuffle up and Deal!
