well that's quite an improvement on your previous highest ever cash of 90k if your new high score is almost half a million. I bet he had a day to remember and who knows maybe it's just the beginning of his poker career when we talk about huge paydays

An improvement indeed. Winning half a million in a poker game is great. He is an entrepreneur according to the article, so the prize can help a lot. But something tells me that a big portion of it will be for poker play only

Yet another first time winner at the series and it's always nice to see. I can only imagine the sheer thrill of playing in one of these tournaments, let alone winning the whole thing
after the win in one tournament is more than five times higher than all previous poker achievements, you can fall into euphoria .... and try to achieve something more with the existing win ... in this situation, the main endurance and patience .... were different cases of flights and falls

This is a very good win because the entry was 3 k and Gal Yifrach won 153 times more than this buy in. Poker is a hobby but it can become more if you earn something seriously. No one is willing to spend money and lose them. We all want profit but not all of us do that. Because of this we are still trying to make more money.

Gal Yifrach... This is a unique first name. I have heard his name before somewhere. I can't remember where I heard his name. Anyway, congratulations to Gal for winning the tournament and scooping a nearly half a million dollars.
