An excellent performance from Kevin Schulz.I had thought this would be won by Kornuth but a great result from a player who had only had one previous cash for $2500 so to go up to $1.5million is brilliant.

The first major of 2015 is in the bag with American Kevin Schulz taking top honours. The extreme sports fan beat Diego Ventura heads-up for the $1,491,580 first prize. After the win he likened the feeling to his passion of skydiving: "If you haven't skydived, you've got to get out there and try it. It's pretty awesome. But so far, this is maybe one of the most intense things I've done in my life."
