he really was on the lucky way and all the weaked pokerstar deals to him cards who let him win its interesting to see some more it was his 1 -st huge win or he want new in this great tournaments run and maybe he have big money pot in his account and nothing strange here in this win maybe he playing here long time and feels like a big pro playing in this jokerstars site good luck all
cant ask for a better win than that onnline and getting there through a sattelite is the icing on the cake well done and hope he carries on with his wining ways,,
I celebrate this winners, it's a way to encourage people like we that don't have lots of money to play sunday million and are brave (and lucky) to pass the hell of satellite + tournament. Very nice, i'm proud of him.

I myself once qualified for the sunday millions through 4 rounds of sats, buy in : 10points
I wanted to unreg and ad the 210 usd to my bankroll, but the tour already started so they put me right in...
I got up to 2000$ in the money, then , I tried to bluff on the turn... 3 hearts on board, 1 8, I had ace hearts... so ..I thought, if I go allin there is a chance he will fold, AND there is a chance I hit the nuts.
I hoped he foldedfcourse,
He did not, he called and 888, I didnt hit the nuts and was OUTED
so, it left me staring at my screen with a dropped jaw for like half an hour,

yes in this situation i wouldnt see the money i won just the missed chance to go deeper in the tourney... but i dont have experience in such big tourneys and if i would win a sat-ticket.. i dont think i would make big steps because of respect but if i go lucky out of a coinflip..........

indeed a dream day for the winner. even if he had buyin directly it wud have been one. well done and congrats to him, he seems to be a regular playing at low stakes tho. he might have played lots of sat games to win tht ticket so they shud also be taken into account, but still very gud

That is indeed a very nice run. The best I have done was to go through three levels of satellites to win my seat on the old 888 deep stack Sunday tourney, and placed nicely in the money, but a quarter million is very sweet. Time to find my horseshoe and look at Pokerstars...
