Like the tournament name specifies. Millionaire maker. For only 1500 USD buy in the winner got a bit more than one million. This is what you call an investment, with a great return And the buy in is not huge, so we can assume the whole lot is his, with no action given to others

What a massive event this was with over 7,000 entries and well done to the winner for outlasting them all. It was particularly nice to see the great Barny Boatman making another final table

well actually I have never heard of any of those dudes at the final table, but have to agree with some of the comments above me written by fellow mobbits and mobbelittos that to turn 1.5k into 1.1 million of dollaros is quite an achievement.

I am disgusted when i see many congratulations for winners of certain tournaments, in WSOP series or in other games. Why can not be discussed about certain things, and these players must be praised for 1st places. I think too many congratulations are not good, and the users of this wonderful site to develop certain questions or stories about the game, player, tournament series etc...
