RE: What It Was Like to Win $1,500,000 in a Poker Tournament at Age 22
Great write-up. Definitely something you will always hold dear to you. The coolest thing about that WPT was that more than any other tournament it embodied the playful youthful spirit of LP before real tough choices had to be made in poker. Everyone was so friendly, happy, had bright-eyed belief in poker and that their luck and destiny was firmly in their grasp, all they needed was a chip and a chair. Best of luck in the future <3
Yup, the poker world had it good. Downswings were not worrisome because we played for fun and we knew an upswing would come. Sad to see how things have changed, but the economy was probably unsustainable
