It only took 59 days for an American to reach the magical 1,000,000 VIP Player Points in 2011 with PokerStars. That means, he has shaved more than three weeks of the previous record from 2008.
Through various bonuses, tournament tickets, etc. it is reportedly worth over $ 100,000 to achieve the highest customer level, SuperNova Elite at PokerStars.
Last year 342 players passed the qualifying lim[...] Read more » New SuperNova Elite record at Pokerstars

i think he is really mad about poker and he was crazy poker player he have money a lot i think and he spend all the days playing poker at the pokerstars site its terribble becouse he loosing his real live taste he is poker maniac and not more ...... good luck all and dont be like him have your own life and spend more time in it but not playing poker
I guess Li is not only a guy playing a lot (and having lots of money). I guess they are four chinese friends playing 24/7 hidden in little room by turns. I cannot imagine anything different from that to reach that milestone.

Damn impressive !
@ Flexibleeric - LOL - the 'news' articles here are never well written - I think users mostly just submit them.. A lot of the BRM members do not have english as a first language.

Although the awful grammar of these articles constantly annoys me, I was gonna say what you said, but you beat me to it, jess. It's so painful reading most of the comments on this site, but like you said, BRM is a heavily-non EFL (English as a First Language) site, so I just try to bear with it!
As for "azntracker", I constantly see him in the PokerProLabs leaderboards, so this isn't that much of a surprise. It's crazy that he lost about $40K in S&G's just to set this record, and he's played 40,000 of them (according to PPL). Still, he's up almost $60K in just over 1100 scheduled tourneys, so that combined with his Izzy challenge money definitely compensates for his (likely caffeine-and-adderall-assisted, LOL) mega grind. Congrats to him!

That is really sick to achieve that level so quickly, I really had no idea it could be achieved that quickly, even at the higher $$ levels. Conrats to him and his optician, I'm sure they will both profit from this!

I have seat back and start thinking about what i really want in the future for my life. I usualy say i like o lot of poker game, in which i loose about 6 to 12 hours of my time per week, but then i read something like this, i get "knotty". This is more than a job, harder than a work, this guy dedicates in large scale doing that, with lots of money in his pockets, and the bank, and the internet, and he stop sleeping just to try and do something for his life. Now he did it, but i still dont know what i want for my life. I don't know if i could submit myself to a challenge like this.
