well this is nice- at least for once when i read the names of the final tables i see more than one which i recognize. this can only mean that very well known "poker pros" have what it takes to actually win some cash aside from their side income giving all the couching's and mentoring's to all who want to make millions fro the thin air.

Nice story. However the thing that caught my attention was the name of the sponsor. Triton. Where I come from Triton make showers! Is this the same Triton or am I getting confused with some other huge international conglomerate that just so happens to have the same name as a shower maker? Cards in the shower? waterproof cards? Now there's a game for a few people to play!

If you had the money for this tournament it looked good to be in it. 43 participants with 7 paid places and the last one with 52k. A profit of 20k for your buy in, or a loss with a rebuy. Nice cash for the first place. I find the tournaments with a small player field more stressful somehow.

Daniel Colman... I remember this guy. Didn't he take down the $1,000,000 buy-in Big One for One Drop at the 2014 World Series of Poker? Well, congratulations again, Daniel! He is still young and his future looks bright.

Many congratulations to Daniel Colman on winning this super high roller tournament. This was an extremely tough final table so he must have played really well to come out on top
The final hand of cards rather traditional ... I like gaming probably occur every day .... Only the winning amount is less)))))))))))))))))))))))))) )))))))))))) but of course the player runner-up played well but he was unlucky ...............

I like to see eric seidel at the final table, too bad he didn't win the event, I like him just because he is like a guy from the history, from thise times when po!er just was starting to become a big thing, so i always support giys like him, and helmuth, tony g, negreanu, guss hansen
Well congratulations to Daniel Colman on yet another big tournament win on his record. He is a luckbox but he's also a very good player that picks his spot well and has a very good table image to make some big bluffs when needed.
Erik Seidel is also one of my favorite player, so consistant plays like a machine but also creative when he needs to be.
