Big congratulations for mister Scott Seiver for his win. Thats a serious amount of money for a live tournament i must say, it's actually much that those high rollers events organised by pokerstars like the Carrabiean adventure. There the buy in was 100.000 dollars and the big price was "only" 1.500.000 million dollars. It's nice to see that there are a lot more tournaments in united states after the black friday, but i really hope we'll be able to see united states players at the real money table again. Congratulations once again for the winner. I must admit the second place won a really good prize too.
Last hand was pretty nice It was obvious, that Bonyadi will call it. Seiver was very lucky with this river, but now moaners can see, that rigged soft doesn't have anything to do with lucky rivers - it just happens Bonyadi also won very good money, but when it comes to heads up it's all about being first, isn't it?
