It must take some supreme cool keep sound judgement and while sitting there knowing so much money is on the line. It is highly commendable. It also takes a lot of mental stamina to keep your brain fresh after many long hours staring at the draining glow of a computer screen with the constant threat or possibility of elimination...
It must take some supreme cool keep sound judgement and while sitting there knowing so much money is on the line. It is highly commendable. It also takes a lot of mental stamina to keep your brain fresh after many long hours staring at the draining glow of a computer screen with the constant threat or possibility of elimination present as is the case in no limit hold em. Congrats to the skilled, daring and lucky winners.

Wow, that is something big. I admire how this players can play poker on this level, with this buy in and with this prize. I play poker from time to time but that is small, maybe 10 dollars the biggest buy in and I was very excited and i can't imagine how excited I would be if I play tournament like this.
