There are two catagories of professionals, tournament players and cash game players. Like him or not, Phil Helmuth has 11 WSOP bracelets, probably making him the best tournament player. It is tougher to name the top cash game players, but the top five may be: Ted Forrest, Barry Greenstein , Phil Ivey, Men “The Master” Nguyen, and Jennifer Harman. At one time Jennifer was know for winning the largest ever cash pot in the "big game" at the Bellagio.
Helmuth, just because of the bracelets.
yeah, statistically, phil helmuth.
Doyle Brunson is probably the greatest poker player in the world.
