congrats to Adrian Mateos winning this event i was surprised to see the players from Senegal and Lebanon coming 2nd and 3rd in this prestige event poker is becoming famous all over the world i was disappointed that Johnny Lodden didn't take this home but i guess 4th place finish is not that bad the winner is only 20 years old , that is amazing this was an interesting event , and big prizes were awarded i am sure we will see those names again in the poker world

I had seen him hovering around the top positions but I thought this was going to go to one of either Lodden or Schemion but at only 20 he has had a lot of success already. Good to see a couple of new names in the top 3,both have played many times and cashed quite well but not too this degree.
Honestly I did not remember that even poker has a triple crown - this fact seem to slip my mind at one time - I already have trouble with realizing the fact that there are three organizations doing work here which could be done by only one.
