Need a lot of luck 2 win WSOP i guess so how he got 2 final table does not matter i think He does gr8 job something many of us only dream about ( no i do ).. That sort of $$$$$ would be hard not 2 have big party but sounds like a smart boy, and i hope more ppl would give % of ther winnings that big 2 gr8 charitys like he has ( he could give another 100k cancer i say lol ).. I will be donating 10 % of anything over 100k if i happen 2 ever get that good ( am in the Aussie Millions fr final on a site an have about 1/300 chance of winning seat so look out here i come lol )..
