You look way tougher/scarier/less nerdy than I expected! Well done!

Anytime someone wins something like this, they will have HAD to get lucky - that much is true, and there really in no denying it. But, at the same time, they also have to have some pretty solid poker skills. I really don't think you can get this far without one or the other. Will the person who wins this be the most skilled player of everyone who competed in the MM freerolls? Of course not... but they will have earned a much deserved $1 million, so more power to them. Ignore all the haters.

BTW, I love how people look at results from thepokerdb as gospel. Do people even realize that they are only listing WINNINGS - and from certain types of tourneys (ie, winning WPT/WSOP seats isn't included)? Not everyone plays 10 tourneys per day on Stars, you know. Some people play on other sites, or live, or cash games, and some of those "big winners" have spent well more than their winnings on buy ins and are actually overall losers.

For my money, modelx looks the scariest. It could just be he is Canadian, but I would keep the kiddies away from that guy just to be sure.......

You may rest assured that I will NOT take the car. Huge waste of money considering I'll owe over $400,000 in taxes. Why on earth would I spend 30% of my net on one car?

I can buy two really good cars for half the cost of the Aston Martin.

Don't worry... those of us with half a brain or more knew you'd take the cash. I have no idea why anyone would ever opt for the prize (assuming it's listed at equal value) in a situation like this. I mean, that's effectively saying that out of everything in the entire world that you could spend $188k on (or whatever it is), this is EXACTLY what you would buy.

Uh huh.
