As you may have seen in days past, there was some considerable buzz in the shoutbox and elsewhere regarding the probability of continuing the recent trend of "J named champions."

2005 - Joe Hachem
2006 - Jamie Gold
2007 - Jerry Yang

While there is obviously nothing more to this than pure coincidence, those still clinging to the superstition and folklore of the trend are left with just one hope: Joe Bishop. Fortunately for them, he's our current leader with approximately 16.7 million chips.
