Analysis: A very strong team but only one player had a career year and thus fell short of Wolf's team in the end.

Wolf:

Nam Le - 3425
John Hoang - 0
Men Nguyen - 3662
Michael Binger - 4416
Hevad Khan - 2616

Bertrand Grospellier - 3110
Tom Schneider - 381
Marcel Luske - 1644
Gavin Griffin - 2855
Annette Obrestad - 0

Total: 28,096

Analysis: Wolf's strategy of picking high risk/high reward players anchored by Nam Le paid off as he got big years from a few of his later selections. Wolf will be playing in a $1500 WSOP event this summer paid for by the rest of us.
