Big time has arrived. Time to retire...or not for these poker nuts. Thats incredible that 8 of 9 final tablists qualified online, shows how dead the live scene must be. I like how his previous biggest cash was over 200k and it's mentioned like he binked $900 in a $3 turbo tourney.
1 Antonio Buonanno €1,240,000; 2 Jack Salter €765,000; 3 Malte Moennig €547,000; 4 Mayu Roca €419,000; 5 Magnus Karlsson €332,000; 6 Sebastian von Toperczer €258,300; 7 Kenny Hicks €188,500; 8 Sebastian Bredthauer €128,800; 9 Martins Seilis €102,000
If I recall correctly the Buonannos were one of the five families in New York? Am I right? This winning is going straight to the 'real' bankroll mobsters - HA! King Kong ain't got nothing on them!
