Many congratulations to Jonas on winning this event and a very healthy first prize of over $300,000. It was particularly nice to see Greg Raymer cashing because watching him win the Main Event was a fantastic piece of television

nice reward for the 1700 USD invested. And the player field was a big one, due to the low buy in probably.
With 117 places getting paid, you had 1 in 10 chances to get paid. A bit of luck in your side and you could be in the money. No information though on how much money the last paid position got.

It's nice to win a game of the WSOP circuit. True talent, for the winner of this game with a buy-in of $ 1,700. The number of players in this tournament was pretty big especially as this game took place in North Carolina, which is far away of Las Vegas. That means Americans love this game and i do not understand why they do not fight, to return in the online market. Congratulations to the final table players.

Yes i think too like some people say here in this thread that it is very good money to win for buyin at only 1700 dollars. Also it is interesting to read that winner say he always think something shitty is going to happen to him, it think it is because he not have good results for long times

This game was ok. A game of smart and talented people, in this game called hold'em texas poker. 1700 dollars is big for many players and that does not matter for them too much. It is good if you produce a lot compared to the investment. This is very important because the profit counts.
