Congrats to my fellow Quebecer Jonathan Duhamel! 23 and on top of the world. I hope he does better than Joe Cada, I saw Joe play on Pokerstars The Big Game show - not too impressive :-/
Of course I have to say '' congratulations, you played best poker at table '' and it's true. But I'm just a bit disappointed for Filippo. Anyway I had chance to watch final table live, thanks to an italian monothematic channel ( which I can't say name of ).
Duhamel was really showed really good performance on the final table. I was a bit disappointed by the Racener's HU play - only one raise from button in 43 hands?
And when we take taxes into account, he won about 4,xxx million only 48% of earnings taxed...Crazy
and it's getting bigger and bigger; year after year... congrats... where are the big names??? 
48% of earnings taxed...Crazy
I look for that and I feel jealous...
