Dan Idema, 30, from Vancouver, Canada took home his third WSOP title and $261,774 for topping a very tough field of 376 players in the $3,000 buy-in H.O.R.S.E. event, which was played over a four-day period at the Rio Las Vegas.
"It's right up there," Idema said when asked about how this victory compares to the other two. "Winning your first is always the best, but this is sure nice."

Many congratulations to Daniel Idema on winning this event and the first prize money of $261,774. These H.O.R.S.E. events are the toughest to win so even more kudos to him
Well, he is younger than me and his WSOP cash is already beyond a million. Either I have to start taking poker seriously or else I'll need a Warren Buffet sized trustfund to make my hobby a viable business option for my coming years. Dunno which one would happen sooner tbh.

I find enough problems just learning to play hold em never mind having all these other games to contend with as well though I do find Omaha is great fun to play. I am missing the WSOP tournaments and having to wait til November for the main event to finish is just way too long.

Tbh I enjoy Omaha (especially Hi/Lo) better than hold'em but the variance is even bigger (or at least it is for me) in the former and this makes it a little bit more stressful.
