Did I read this one right? He is a former Air Force jet mechanic who moved from Chicago seven years ago - sounds like this guy had his life on the right tracks way before he moved here just to play some cards I wish I could work on jet engines in Chicago.

this is what I call great prize pool for 600 $ buy in!maybe first prize isnt such a big as you would think when you see over 3,2 million dollars,only 400 K,but still great investment and prize for this player!hope that we will see bigger and bigger prize pools after this!

This tournament was a game with many players and it was quite difficult to play everything in one day. These players need rest and sleep, when the game prolongs and it is not normal to force them, to play tired. It was a good decision and congratulations for the final table.
beat more than 6,000 people. This is of course very cool .... given that he didn’t invest very much just $ 600 he received a wonderful prophet ... more than $ 300,000 .... but it was probably very difficult .... it happens that sometimes a great card comes with each distribution .... and it happens that during the whole tournament nothing good comes .... Apparently he was lucky

yes when I read about this tournament then of course my eye go to fact that buyin is only 600 dollars and it is really not big money. also for this buyin he win close that 400.000 dollars and this is very big result. if I am in America then for 600 I think I too try my luck

Do you realise how of fullness are these casinos, when it comes to 6000 players for one tournament. I think it's crowded and they stay like in a can. Some games had 400 or 500 players but this it was bigger and requires a lot of moves for the player who wins such a tournament.
