well this just again proves that it doesn't take a huge reputation and a star name to win a major tournament in poker, well leicester city kinda proved this is possible in football too, but these sort of things happen once in a million years in sport and it seems on a weekly basis in poker

Yes like the name say this is a millionaire maker tournament and this time it made another millionaire. Congratulations to oanlo mariz, I am not reading a lot information about poker players so i don't really know him at all, first time i hear his name.
There was a new owner of the bracelet and a new million as I understood from this news ... it seems to me that it's good ... the competition in poker should be that not play and win only a limited number of great players ... maybe

One of my cousins, who happens to be a former Navy officer, has been living off military retirement pay. I haven't seen him for a long time. The last time I saw him in person was nearly ten years ago.

1500 $ buy in to win more than a million. And as expected, what he is planning to do with his winnings? To play the rest of the tournaments He better have some bankroll management, and not invest everything he got.
