It was a huge and diferent tournament, for the show, the buy.in the mane and record of participants, and the name it self. Congratulation for the winner that bit a massive field after some days of playing. Next year we hope to see again this tournament, with the same or around the buy.in, and maybe get another record for the field. About the final table have only players around 25 years old, just shows that many people/players want the big hit and they have enough money to spend in tournaments with this kind of buy.in.
