Good game.

Have seen a bit when they were three handed. He had a huge chip lead at that time, so no surprise that he could win the title.

a big title to add to his already successful poker career, with already 8 million in live tournament winnings he surely is among one of the best now. hope to see more from him. Blink

As i'm sure you already know this victory completed his poker triple crown. I'm sure there is really a pride thing after you make millions of dollars out of poker to have all these bracelets in your CV Smile
As you know there are many players that make a lot of money both live and online but they aren't interested in winning poker bracelets and title, mainly because they are not tournament players so they bust pretty quickly out of competition, or simply they are no interested in titles.......
On the other hand you find not so succesful poker players who are desperately want to win a bracelet and they are signing at every wsop or ept, and they usually bust really quickly Shock
Anyway congratulations for Elyk, he really proved he is in one of the true pokers pros Smile Cool
