If you were doing a proper degree like maths, you'd understand things like Poisson distributions.

One thing that's changed this year is the increase in higher buy-in events, which is likely to lead to smaller fields in those events, and hence more pros winning. I'm not sure that's been too much of a factor yet, though, although two of the "top player bracelets" you mentioned were in $5k+ events.
