Is this real life?

Seems like all of this should not happen; but it did.

So what? Is this the sickest variance-friendly run of all time?

Zeejustin won close to $24M USD in a 7 months span.

How sick is that?

During one of the breaks, Bonomo went on saying that he did not run that amazing prior to the ITM spots as he "only had grinded small pots". Seems weird to me because I can remember that he called a preflop ai with KJo vs AJ (or AK sorry cant recall precisely the hand) and went on making broadway lol.
I mean, when Coleman had that heater, everyone was saying this wont happen again, ever. When Fedor shipped everything for a year, we heard the same things. And now what?

Yeah, definitely note worthy, great feat in the tough fields
Just not nowhere near close impossible in variance terms given the field sizes, people have much bigger heaters in terms of roi/bis but they rarely make headlines

the big one drop seems not worth it. only 10x your buy in for coming in FIRST!!! in a pretty tough field , not that it really matters because variance is satan and nothing you do will ever be enough in cruicial spots................. but still yet a pretty tough field.

The final three players made a deal. After that they were playing for the prestige and the bracelet. In all likelihood Justin won over 7M (7.6M by chip count), still a pretty sweet payday.

YouStake site says: "Justin and Fedor made a heads up deal, getting $7M each and playing for $2M left. That means as of right now, YouStake backers are getting at least $630K total back!"

All visible on ESPN if you were paying attention. And their play afterwards reflected this.

Almost felt guilty for a minute. Then I read your valuable comment. Seems indeed pretty logical to have a thread abt the winner in the biggest poker forum.
Cheers gg and vul to the upset poster. My bad

Still worth the watch dude. If you love football and heard the result of the world cup final match without being able to watch it live, wont you still watch it afterward?

In my case, yes, for sure. But that is only "imho"

Cheers and be sure that i didnt mean to upset a 2+2 poster.
