He is playing in a team. So that amount he has won probably isnt something important. Probably he entered just for the fun of the game. If the prize was a couple of millions, then we could say, that it did really meant something for him also.
This is quite interesting ..... When a player involved in game sports makes more success in poker ..... It seems that he is doing well with concentration .... and he can try to achieve more in the game of poker .... maybe .... but maybe this is his highest achievement

Brent Kallman has not been registered in this tournament just to have fun. He specified that: he had some nerves at the beginning of the game. In the next day he relaxed and played ,,in his own style''. If he played stressed in the next day, he probably will not be able to advance too much in this tournament. Relaxation and abilities gave him a $ 62 k prize. Not bad.
