greatest player alive?

hellmuth won the most but NO ONE CAN CHALLANGE DANIEL NEGREANU

I think you are asking two broad of a question. If you are strictly talking NLH tournaments, it is sadly probably Phil Helmuth or Johnny Chan. Jennifer Harman is the best Limit hold'em player I've ever seen. I'm a huge fan of Daniel Negreanu, but Antonio Esfandiari is probably the best cash/tournament player. Sure, there are lots of good players out there, but everyone has their own specialty, so try to be more specific in your topics.

Tom Dwan "Durrrrrr" ... Sorry he is the sickest cash game player I have come across!

But as far as biggest name for Poker....maybe Chris Moneymaker raised poker to the next level because of the online boom.
