This must have been a fantastic experience for both players and i was pleased to read that one of them won $20,000. It must have been pretty frightening to play against such good players but also very exciting

We had read about this, some time ago, when they had won the tickets. Now its about the actual tournament. And it shows that indeed, only one dollar can win you lots of money, since one of them managed to win 20k USD. A great result after all.

Is a beautiful experience of course and the opportunity to play in a live tournament is something different for them ( provided they have not played live until now ). About the tips poker received is very good, if these two players know English very well. Now they will have to try to play as good as possible and reach as high as possible.

The one that won the 20k USD you can see he is not new to the game or live playing. And his win was nothing close to the one he got in 2017 for 92k euro. Not that this one was a bad win. A very good addition to his winnings, or his bankroll The disappointment must have been for the first player...

Well I think everyone is lucky sometimes to have an opportunity like this in their life and these 2 if they had 1 at least could take some silver in my country is not very little but good layers is not as much as I think xd but I think that what was worth the entrance is a good sum that I took home ...

I must be the only one suprised that amateurs are not playing like pro's given the chance but pro's still could make amateur mistakes plenty times.

They are not so amateur if they have managed to win these packages and both have received some tips about poker. When you get advice from someone who knows, help a lot and amateurs can not compare with this. Amateurs lose fast and others with few experience resist longer in the game. Of course a pro will beat them but hese players who have won these packages they are not amateurs.
