It was a success but not too big. The guaranteed prize fund was with $8540 more and that's fine. I missed the opportunity to play here because i didn't have time to play satellites and another time maybe i will play. Congratulations to the winner.

Well what can we say. For that buy in the prize was great. The hours it took also for the tournament to finish, is another thing to note. I still wonder how they are playing so many hours and keeping it up together, with their game. I guess it is one of the things that makes them being professionals

on big tournaments and when big amounts are in game,you must play long time and you need to be prepare on this!depend all how they make blinds size,so if they give long blinds,will take long time like this,but when you have this big number of players and big prize pool,you will still need lot of time to win it!

Oh, no doubt playing cards for fourteen hours would brake my back for sure, I am not cut out for something like that.
for some reason, for some reason, I’m not at all surprised that the player from Brazil won this tournament .... The thing is that Brazilian players play quite impulsively ... and when a regular player chooses to call or skip a move, a player from Brazil usually goes usually all in .... and as a result, sometimes he wins ... Apparently this is the case when the Brazilian players were really lucky in this tournament .... But this is a special case

Brazilian players are very good at online poker games. I have seen many of them earning impressive amounts of money in Pokerstars. I respect their game which is really good and of course the Russians also have many lucky processionalists.
