I personally think this is not real tournaments and reality is just multi table sit and go because so little number of players. Of course big money for buyin and because this we see very big prize for winner but risk is also too big i think

T'was a high roller event. Most of them are like this one. Plenty money thrown around, not so much players participate because not many of them could afford it...

Many congratulations to Timofey on winning this event and a very nice first prize. The short deck form of poker is becoming increasingly popular and i wouldn't be surprised if this becomes the number one discipline in poker before long

Buy in of this tournament it was a very big one. At a normal calculation it seems the entrance was 200k dollars. It was better with 5 places paid but if the players were satisfied with 4 it is very good. These people are attracted by these powerful games but here is too much money for the entrance in this tournament. Honest to be even if i had a 5 millions of dollars, i would not buy entry in such a big tournament.

Congratulations to the winner Timofey and it's good to see that there are always people taking good prizes ... god because you're so bad with me and you do not let me participate some day of a nice event to change eh? Hahaha
a short deck poker game is quite an interesting game ... now you can play it on PokerStars .... I try to play there but only on conditional chips as I don’t have money on my PokerStars account .... maybe I will try the future play for real money already .... the game is interesting

A "small" tournament again, according to the number of players. 23 participants with only four places getting paid. I cant understand how they put so much money in, 127k USD for this game, in order to reach top four, and make a profit out of it. If you can spare the money...

the truth gives me envy to see that many in the whole world take such amount of money and many we are left with the desire to take something or if someday we could get to win a good boat to be happy or satisfied hahaha
