that's right, sometimes at the final table you also have to be lucky to win the tournament many times, he had two great hands where it worked out for him, but he also played a great tournament, you can't say he was just lucky, but he also played incredibly well.

This JJ hand against QQ and KK , it was very crazy indeed . So tough luck for the Kings , to get cracked on the turn by this Jack. I guess Daniel Weinman's new favourite hand is definitely the Jacks . One crazy flip that lead eventually at this prestigious first win and $12M dollars win .

this is poker and there will always be many surprises. The cards are always mixed and on some more exceptional occasions they destroy very strong hands. The lucky player in the end is the one who wins the game, not the good hands...

Many of the players do not like the JJ, they always have a bad result when they play it, but it is demonstrated that they can also destroy KK and QQ, this was demonstrated in the 10k tournament, a crazy hand that led him to win the tournament.

Pocket Jacks almost always get me to trouble , especially deep in a tourney . Maybe I am just unlucky . For a flip against one other who has AK or AQ suited or not things are tough , against two or more players things are worse . I would never make this call . Against two others with JJ . Maybe he thought that he could have in at least at the worst case the side pot against the biggest stack who might have bet more lighter and wider trying to squeeze. Anyway JJ is a f*"* up hand for me He got lucky though . That got him $12M . This is what matters in the end .

of course, when I saw that he got the J on the turn I said this is his tournament, he is also a great player, in an interview he did after winning the tournament he said he did not plan to play it, but a friend encouraged him so he could do it one more time.

poker is poker and you need a little luck, but here it depends more on the other abilities. It is true that luck is part of the game, but only to a small extent. Talent remains the basis and intuition.

Of course my friend, poker has a little luck, the rest is work, study and skill of the player, this player is very good, throughout the event has shown that he deserves it as many of the final table.
