I can imagine a lot more Germans will start playing poker now, especially with $8.7 million dollars at stake
Pius Heinz played really well, I watched most of the tournament live on Foxtel. I can't believe Ben Lamb got knocked out so early on the final table, I thought for sure he would at least come second.
