An interesting game the 8 mix, but not one with that many fans. And the reason is obvious i believe. Quite a few players in, almost 500, but the buy in was low so the prize money, cant say it was something spectacular

It's great to see another first time winner at the World Series and well done to Philip Long on achieving this feat.I personally would have liked Daniel Negreanu to win but i am sure he will have other opportunities to add to his tally of wins

well I kinda am bullish on those mixed games, more fun, more emotions and of course more skill involved, luck always plays a factor, but the more skill games require the less impact luck makes and I am always in support of this scenario.

the mix game is a science apart because you have to have several different skills when it comes to poker because there are many games that differ from each other and the characteristics of them are different so win a world championship of this and a made for few
Philippe Long is for me a new name in the world of poker and his remarkable win is of course very cool .... if he could win such a good tournament then I think I will hear his name many times again in connection with new victories in new tournaments .... nice that there are new millionaires

The exciting idea of combining 8 games into a tournament. I've seen this for the first time a few years ago in pokerstars but i do not understand more games and these tournaments are not for everyone. I do not know how old is this combination of 8 games in a tournament but congratulations for all players who know how to play these games.

Big congratulations to Philip Long on his impressive victory in the Eight-Game Mix tournament. Congratulations also to Daniel Negreanu who had a third-place finish. I would love to watch the final table replay online.
