"Best by far"? People sure love jumping on the bandwagon for the flavor of the month on this site
It's no different than march madness.
In NCAA you win the big tournament and you get the glory. It's like that in all sports... there are big games that matter.

Seams like I remember Jay Helfert saying in one of his Phillipine musing posts to watch out for a new kid coming up named Johann Chua. Glad to see the kid coming along and improving. Hope he keeps it up. I really enjoyed his shot making against SVB. Sorry for SVB but the kid can shoot. I nicknamed him The Machine.

You're just sore because van boening lost again, and to an unknown kid to boot. This kid had been beating Efren and most of the monsters back in the PI. And you're a sour grape. I like van boening too but don't expect him to win everything.
I liked Chua from the beginning because of his composure and how he handled himself. He was still very young but played like a seasoned pro. His ability was evident already, he just needed some time to get used to playing tournaments, since he had been primarily a money game player before. No surprise for me here and I fully expect it to be only the beginning for him. This has to give his confidence a boost and I look for him to win a world title in the next year or two.
Who mentioned SVB? Chua is far from being an unknown kid.
It was a poorly attended, but major, WPA event, that's all. Wondering why so many skipped it.
WHAT?
Well that remains to be seen ,
Shane's one of the few who can take a flyer on a tourney that has more merit than money , he's one of the few that's actualy made himself a comfortable living ,, money is I'm sure is of some importantancd but to build his legacy I think the money is less important to him than a title in some cases and I think this might be one he would not mind having that feather in his cap
We know it was a tourney on the cheap but yrs from now it would still be considerd a badge of honor to win in anyone's legacy
