On Tuesday, 17th of July, this year's World Series of Poker came to its' conclusion offering a prize pool of a whopping $59,784,954! There were 6,358 players competing for the first prize, which was more than 8 million dollars, $8,250,000 actually. The winner, a 39-year-old psychologist and social worker from southern California, had won his seat through a satellite. His total investment in the event was 225$ while most of the entrants paid the full entrance fee of $10,000. Now, that's some nice investment and I hope one day I will do something similar. After all who doesn't want to be a World Champion in Poker?

You may of course read all about an online tournament, written step-by-step as I went to win it! Sure, that is peanuts in comparison to the Main Event, but I had to start somewhere!
