He just paid for 10 years worth of buy ins

Maybe he would if he didn't have to pay tax. Wonder if he can write off tournament losses for 10 years and deduct those amounts from this payout.

His play style is annoying

But he’s had a solid career

Great player but overrated

Not if losses happened more than 12 months before he files taxes

Great player but overrated

I used to watch him play 15 years ago. Anyone who can keep up with the game for a couple of decades, at this level, deserves every bit of credit.

Not a fan at all

89 entries in the 50k

Not exactly a big feat

How did they have 89 entries?

 

[kidcudi92]

How did they have 89 entries?

Cause it’s 50k per entry they aren’t gonna have a deep field

He just had to run good pretty much, obv he’s a good player but I mean…

 

[jjgold]

Oh, I know what you’re saying 89 players that still tough and most of them were were good class


There’s a very select few of poker players that actually have money from poker playing

The well-known ones make it from outside sources

Danny is a cash player, never fairs out well in tournament play

Isn't a tournament of this buy in, with a deep stack, really close to a 'cash game'?

 

[BigJay]

What was first place payout in the tourney?

Approximately a little over 1 million
