Moss didn't technically win a $10K NLHE freezeout in 1970. Also, I suppose Bill Boyd deserves a mention here -- he won the only five-card stud tournament at the WSOP <i>four</i> straight years (1971-74), though the buy-ins varied. In fact, they dropped five-card stud afterwards, so I think Boyd might be the only player to have any WSOP bracelets in 5CS. There was a $1,500 O/8 event in 2007 (won by Alex Kravchenko).
