Winning 1 million dollars probably feels so amazing, if course I have no idea how, but i can only imagine that it is hust super feeling, especially if you had little money before. If Bill gates wins 1 million that's nothing to him, but if some guy who has just loans in bank win same amount this is life changing
In Russia there was a new millionaire who won this money in poker ... this is probably good news but of course in its place there should have been I))) ... but seriously, it's certainly nice when the winners rise from sattelitov .... Means stubborn people
A Million $ that's really lifechanging money after winning that much you can easily spend the rest of your days just sitting in the Sun letting you nuts swing in the wind let's see who makes it there next

yeah not really surprised it was a poor Russian zucchini farmer who barely has enough money to feed his 14 kids and decided to spend the last $0.01 in a satellite who won the $1 million. Pokerstars = HollywoodStars.

well to answer your money about taxes in russian tony mon7ana i have to admit that since it's putinland we are talking about they percentages can easily wary from 0% to 101% . yes you read it right, 101%- you actually have to pay more than you won, because of all the extra administrative issues involved and the excessive workload towards the already highly occupied bureaucrats regarding the accounting of the special tax rate towards your unprecedented win.

Its almost the same case every time with the river ace. You have it till the turn, then that river, takes it all away. Doesnt happen with the same frequency though, when i hold the ace, but it happens Nice win there.
