So you invest $5 into a 50,000-player tournament on Sunday, win 1st place for $45,000, and what do you do?
Go back to grinding a $10 heads-up sit'n'go.
That's what Chicago-based breo40 did, coming down off Full Tilt's largest tournament in their history, which lasted almost 9 hours (the final table alone was 90 minutes).
That's dedication. We don't know if we'd have that much restraint and discipline not to jump into a higher limit game, you know, to parlay.
But the 30-year-old will continue to play his regular low-limit sit-n-go games, though he conceded he'd go as high as $100... non-turbo.
During the marathon session, he never fell below average stack and his Aces held up. He led the final table with a 3:1 chip lead, and his final hand was A9 vs. 34. A9 held up.
He doesn't yet know what he'll do with his newfound windfall, but for now he's content playing the same games he did before.
And trying to get the money out of his account as fast as possible.
Full Tilt informed breo40 that at least a dozen players attempted to hack into his account after his win. His account is currently being monitored for any fraudulent activity.
Asking the instant online poker celebrity what he did as soon as he won, breo40 said: "bout crapped my pants."
And by the way, he lost the heads-up SnG but jumped into a 6max $6 SnG.
