Good evening Mobsters
Just wanted to let everyone know that I was lucky enough to win the Hyper Turbo daily giveaway freeroll on pokerstars with 6110 entrants I got first place for $50 and an entry into the weekly final sunday storm ticket giveaway I have been playing these freerolls for a year or two and my previous best finish was 3rd place for $7 in the heads up giveaway tourney so this win for $50 is a huge accomplishment for me and wanted to share my success with the group that it is possible to win this freeroll if you are lucky enough.

Many congratulations to you on winning this tournament and the $50 first prize. To beat a field of over 6,000 is an achievement you should be very proud of. You must have played really well, and probably got a bit lucky in a few spots, and i hope you can continue this winning streak

Sammybeyo.... congratulations on your apsuccess. Good luck in the tourney you won entry too. It's also great to see the Canadian bromance going on here between you and TheIrish..... you could be related or something... you never know. Maybe you guys should get together and talk about how it was back then to how it is now and hit softball for a while maybe! Great story.

Thanks Ivanjkp appreciate the kind words yes I agree it was quite a battle to win the $50 first prize alot of tough opponents had to be on my A game that day and of course get super lucky as well. I hope to have more great successes and stories to share with everyone in the forum thanks again my friend.
Thanks Damosk also appreciate the kind words and I will try my best to do good in that one as well. I know what you mean about the bromance it was really cool learning that me and the Irish77 had a similar upbringing of sorts it is indeed as theirish77 put it a small world indeed. As for getting together I am always open to meeting fellow mobsters in real life and hanging out. As for sports for softball I am alright fun sport to play used to play it growing up my speciality for sports is basketball and bowling I had numerous successes and awards with bowling and was in a league for 8 years good times. definately your right a great story indeed always great to meet some new people on the forum.
That's a great job sammybeyo! I don't play these I prefer just registering to all-in shootouts because I'm lazy but I never win anything in them so you're probably doing the right thing.
Besides, the whole tournament only lasted 2 hours. Pretty short for a tournament with that many players. Must have been a crazy shove fest
Good luck and keep getting more from freerolls it's always nice

Thanks TheMachineQC! I know all in shootouts determine the winner in seconds I have tried the daily giveaway all in shootout so many times buy was never able to win anything. I think my last all in shootout win came when I won $3 from the deal all in shootout had in the neighbourhood of 100-200 players variance wasn't so bad.
That tournament went by fast I think your right that it was a crazy shove fest
I will try my best to win alot more money from the freerolls they are fun to play for some free money once in a while if your lucky
