Not a great surprise that the top three agreed to do a deal for the majority of the money but I was quite surprised to see Mike McDonald did not go further.It was said that Nopaleva won a satellite bought with FPP so would be interesting to know if this was the biggest tourney he had played.
was hoping for a Mike o win but no it's a Ben who did, congrats for winning such prestigious tournament at 29 yrs. Now use the money wisely and build on

I spend 5$ on Mike, and wanted to put 40$ on ben and I was one click away from it unlucky I didnt click bet I wanted to, and I just minimize ps and continue to watch, to see if he will win one more pot, to make sure that I placed my bet right, and when I wanted to bet after that, bet were closed, right before I wanted to bet :S

I hate deals with passion. It such a letdown for an outsider to see these guys fight hours upon hours so at the end they could just share. I don't like socialism in poker.

Don't care about money? Like the Mob, right? Nevermind the score - they all wanna be portrayed in the next Scorsese movie...

they were all there for money, and obviosly they care about it... mike mcdonald said that he is like 600k down, so this would pull him up a lil bit, also that russian guy that took 223k he sat himself into this tournament with 25k FPP and he was playing 100$ MTT and he was down 30k$... sure for him 220k$ is biggest win... so I think they all care about money... I dont think anyone there was playing for glory, because online tournament isnt significant as much as live ones
unlucky I didnt click bet
