Big congratulations to mister Erik Seidel. He basically proves again he is really one of the top poker players of all times. He is the best live tournament player so far judged on the total winnings he had so far. On the other hand there were some though competition on this event particullary when you have registered players like Daniel Negreanu or Bonome, known to be very good live tournament players. You have to agree that you also need to have a bit of luck on this tournaments but on such a big data frame that we analyze we clearly see that poker strategy and knowledge is a lot more important than luck on the poker game. Congratulations again to Erik Seidel for his amazing run!

Another big win for Seidel, as I mentioned in the other news I don't like him, but he deserved to win.
