Never heard of a so big amount of money like that in an online tourney. Congrats Yevgeniy! Not even a single most known name in the final table... theses guys most have done a great game during day 2, to finish with all the pros. Now, an advice to Jovial Gent: why not double your prize and try to beat durrrr on HU? Looks a very good idea huh? just kidding, spend it well spent
That's incredible, he's the one who won the last 25k WPT World Championship and now the WCOOP Main Event... not finished yet, I also saw at pokernews that less than one hour later after his WCOOP win, he also took down the Full Tilt $1K Monday... huge congrats.

Nice one "Jovial Gent"! That´s just marvelous tournament! Never seen so huge guaranteed pot in one online poker tournament. Hope I´ll get in tournament like that from some satellite tourney...
I think we will hear lots more of him. Don't know if he will be able to get same results in live poker too, but online is simply unbelieveble.ù Congratulations
