Many congratulations to Fedor Holz on winning this event and the massive prize of $4,981,775. I remember watching this guy in last years Main Event and he looked a class act then.

Very well done to Fedor Holz from Germany for conquering the $111,111 buy-in tournament that attracted world's finest 183 poker players. Having earned $4,981,775 first place prize from this tournament, he has accumulated nearly $18.5 million in live tournament earnings in quite a short period of time.
183 player is not a lot ... and gain almost five million it is certainly very cool .... and age it for a good game very young ... probably many underestimated him and because of this he paid ... in any case, I am very happy for him, he was a pretty good player and deserves it
First time I heard this name when I saw his total live winnings then I realized I missed a lot in the live poker circuit world just too bad that this year we did not have the 1 million buy in one drop as it's a really the biggest one IMO even bigger than the Main Event...

Yeah, but for instance the WSOP ME have many entrants who are literally just come off the street and had 10k to spare 4 experience the feeling of it as opposed to this where almost everyone is a tried pro backed with knowledge and money. Which one is harder to take down?
