His first ever wpt win with a great prize. A bit more than 1.5 millions USD, can open lots of doors Gives him the ability to play in many more tournaments with high buy ins. And this one was not a low one either, with 10k buy in. Still wondering, how can they play a poker game for that long Five days tournament...
Well, here's another person who won the pokerwinner's bracelet .... It’s very good that New people become the winners of big tournaments ..... This means that many have a chance to win .... 1.5 million dollars this is of course a wonderful win. ... it's like he is a professional. He has the opportunity to play at big bets.

This Dylan Linde played a lot of poker and watched other poker games. This means he has memorized many positive things and after that he participated in a big tournament and managed to win. Because of this, poker is a game based on skills first and less on luck. If you do not learn, then chances are small with sharks players. Congratulations to this player who managed to become professional after a very careful study and for his prize.
So 700k is just disappeared during the tourney right away? There were a thousand people shelling out 10.4k as the buyin yet the prizepool only contained $700.000 less than that. Doubt that organizing this event would even close to that amount, it's just mind boggling...

Very big win of 1.6 millions of dollars for dylan linde. I cannot imagine personally to be win such big amount if money and then what can i do with this money. Interesting to see he uses 5 rebuys, in this situation he makes good profit, but many times it is big loss to make so many rebuys

Depends on his general style and gameplay - maybe it's his forte and all of that. But yeah, five times 10k is no small feat to shell out for keep playing...

Many Americans have money and $10 k is easier to win than in other countries. They know how to do it, because it is a country that produces a lot of money. I saw how the Americans play poker, before the Black Friday and they are very talented in this game. They invented this game and it's much easier to learn strategy in english language, or to watch the big players, how they play and you to understand many things.

Now it is much easier to learn the game than it used to be. You can find tons of info online. Be it books, videos, articles, etc. And there are also online translators, if that was the problem. Of course i believe that if you are unlucky you cant go far...
