Whoever he is, grats. Don't think it'd even possible to see a WSOP without multiple winners anymore.

Be proud if you accomplish something like running your first marathon or buying your first home, but being proud of the fact that good luck fell into your lap instead of someone else's is preposterous.

Well done to him - not really heard of him before this series - so perhaps well done all the more so.

To people who say, "donkaments lol." It still takes skill, hard work and commitment to win one. Three skills almost always lacking in people who post those same words on NVG.

Let's face it - it takes 30 seconds and zero thought or commitment to post here.

It takes 3 days and lots of thought to win a bracelet. Oh and $1000 too!

Great job.

Prop bet on the "probably". Since it's >50% to happen in your mind, even $ should be ok? PM me for details

I already have a blog. If Frank is as knowledgeable about poker as many of you suggest, then I am sure he agrees with me and is thinking "Man, I was very fortunate to run hot at the right time."

You realize it's possible to both play well AND run well, and therefore to be proud of the first and happy about the second?

Right?
