Speaking of luck, here is a good example. Being a runner up on the previous tournament and now he won it, for almost 2 millions. 10k buy in with a big field of players, reaching 812. Not a bad sum so far for his age. About 3 millions and he is only 27 years old.

For two consecutive years this professional poker player has managed a very difficult record. Ryan Tosoc managed to win the second place and then place 1 in the same tournament. This record will be equalized or more with great difficulty. Many congratulations to Ryan Tosoc did something beautiful.

Gratz to this amazing winning of nearly $2 million to Mr.Tosoc! And 812 can pay a buyin od $10.400, really a huge player field in this WPT Five Diamond Main event. That´s a dream, to qualify via a sat to this main event and than to win this big tournament
of course this is an amazing achievement .... take second place and come in a year to try again and eventually win ..... it's very cool .... a man found his place ..... I'm sure that in a year he again will play in this tournament and it would be cool if he was again among the leaders
