Yesterday evening i didn't know what to play, and i tried a 3$ sattellite to the Suday Quarter million in PokerStars. I qualified with not too much trouble. The main game was already on for about 5 minutes when i got my seat. I played for 6 hours the best poker i've ever played, it was amazing, i coulodn't believe how well everything was going. There were more than 36000 players, and finished 61. I cashed for 290.44$. The reason a tell this is, because i've never liked that big tournaments, with that much players, but i don't know how i made it that far. It's not my biggest cash, but it was my best play. Just wanted to share it!

great result ... its a bit off putting alright when there is that many players in a tourney, but 61 is a fantastic result ....... and at least the prize you won was worth the effort ...... also 36000 down to 61 in 6 hours is quite good ..... you would expect it to take longer ....... well hope the money grows for you

Very well done Too bad you didn't make it to the top 10, because they probably won thousands of dollars, didn't they? I still want to play on such a big tourney one day!

Congatulations!
I finished 1st for the first time in a 5000 player tourney last weekend, unfortunately only $75. I am building up to these big tourneys and hope to be able to do the same as you in some of those soon.

well done coming 61st out of 36000 players (me too hate them big tournaments, don't have patience/time to play them) and that too when you know you won because you played well and not by getting lucky.

61. out of 36.000 is really nice. What is really bad about that giant tournaments is the pay-out structure. I think they should pay less players out so the people itm will get more for it.
Mostly i hate it when i play for 1$ for about 4 hours to get 3,26 back. The pay oiut is too early in that case and the steps (11 cent more for the next one...) are ridic.
Wow 36,000 runners hate that
