So I kept watching and watching and watching and he and at 4:01 am when it was all over he had come in 2nd place for a payout of $69,375.Needless to say after talking to him till 5:30 am I never made it to work this morning but oh well.

How do they pay that out to him? Do they mail him a check?

When he won 25k a couple months ago he had them send me three seperate checks for 7 thousand each so nothing would be over 10k and the bank wouldnt flag it so I'm guessing he'll do the samething this time. He said he was going to buy a SUV and then head back to Vegas. I'm trying to get him to leave the same week I'm going

I keep thinking maybe I should have stuck with poker 4 years ago when we both played together and this could be me.Instead I went down the sportsbetting path while he stuck with poker. I am down about 500 this year in sportsbetting and he has won over 120k in 3 tournments

Not too late to start playing again bro. You would have an awesome teacher, thats for sure.

I like to play, but just dont have the time to get better at it, but seeing your brother win makes me wanna get back into it.

Nah I'll never get back into poker , I quit because I couldnt take the bad beats .I'm actually the one that taught him to play. Back when we played we thought a 500 dollar cash was a huge win .My times have changed now he plays 500 dollar buy ins.

I guess I'll just have to get good at sportsbetting
