pay the buy-in
yeah nice win, great payday- especially considering the opposition. this is why poker is so popular- anyone can have a go at pro's. i doubt you would stand a chance winning tennis match against nadal, doesn't matter short or long run...but in poker you can outplay any pro and win big
