Congratulations to Jake Schindler on winning this tournament but what a crazy way to end it. They played blind for $200,000!!! This goes to show how most poker players have no regard for money

That is insane that they did that for $200k - I tell you a seasoned pro would never agree to something like that.

Verry strong that Vanessa Selbst had the chance to win this highroller pca bahamas event the second time. And the first place for nearly 1.2 Million $ are verry nice. Really a dream to win one time this tourney or a other at the ept series. And after than to quit playing poker...

Congratulations to Jack for his win, i liked how he played the final hand and most of all that he waited for a decent hand to end the game
Also Vanessa played good, i mean she always gets pretty good places in all the tournaments that she participate, i think that with a bit of luck she could have take this one too.
