Congrants Nguyen ...Showing great courage, Nguyen abused aggression to overcome a lethargic Gordon Vayo heads up. Patiently, he was undermining gradually the opponent's stack never showed resistance. And the opportunities where Vayo managed to double up, the champion did not flinch and continued to put pressure
it was clear yesterday when he was two times more chips than his nearest pursuer ... and if it would be possible to bet on his victory, I would certainly have made it ... for some reason I was sure of his victory and It is that no it is not a competitor

This is amazing. I would have never thought that heads up in a tournament like this can last that long. Some patience they must be having to play their best game for all these hours. Its like a days work with 8 million salary , if you take in mind only the heads up part.

Qui Nguyen’s unconventional playing style is probably not profitable and can be exploitable in the long run, but it is the style that gives amateur, less-skilled players the best shot at beating professional players.

Wow what a amazing prize winning over 8 Million $$$! Nguyen was the massive chip leader at the final table, but it happen verry often, that the chip leader played to much Hand and verry agressive. Now he was a new star in the poker world, a dream for every poker Player

I think once you've been all in and survived a few flips with odds against you. You just go for it more in the small ball. Great game no one expected. Due the Internet hype of some. This just proves anyone can win it. I see a boom in poker.
, if you take in mind only the heads up part.
