Does it take a major suck out (or more) to win a tourney

OK Now that Mookie found (and linked) my attempt to startup a blog, I guess I need to start really blogging in earnest.

My question of the day. Can you win a tournament without one or more suckouts. I was watching the red rock tourament where Phil G. caught a 9 for a set to win the hand and then ultimately the whole thing. Albeit it was not a major suckout as he did have a flush draw but still he needed it to continue.

Last night I went deep, but did not win, when my J's tripped up on the river to beat Q's. I subsequently at the final was crippled when my AK was beaten by an A9 when a 9 hit.

So have any of you won a tournament solely on having superior cards or through superior play without having to rely on a suckout.
