Thanks for all of the kind words, the reaction really has been overwhelming. I guess I always thought to myself "it would be so good to final the warm up or million" it really is potentially a one in a lifetime opportunity and im extremely fortunate and very lucky to get,the lions share of a 3 way deal. Make no mistake I ran extremely well in the tournament winning key races at the right times. Anybody who has ever won a tournament has to,have ran very very well so to win 3 MTTs in an evening I understand I ran hotter than the sun.
Whilst really trying to be modest I also think I played well, this was a once in a lifetime opportunity and I needed to make sure I was ready to,play my A game. It's tough when you're playing for that much money. I think the pay outs were
113k
84k
54k
30k
21k
13k
9k
5k
When we got to the final tale people were paying tentatively and I ended up running an extremely big bluff when I could have waited to ladder. The pot was so so significant at the time because it put me 1/9 and allowed me to,raise/fold into 8 guys who were at the biggest final,table of their lives.

My room mate shouted GET IN and I knew he had folded, it was perhaps the best feeling of my entire career as a professional poker player, I was so happy that I was able to pull the trigger here and go with my instinct.
As the final went on we ended up 3 handed after I used my chips stack,aggressively and continued to run well and hold in my 69/40s and 70/30s
The stacks going into 3 handed were
20.5m (me)
8.5m
6.5m

I was in a dominating position but I was happy to look at numbers. I finally managed to secure a little bit more than ICM and took just over 94,000.
After the tournament I was pretty chill really. My room mate was on the final of 888 major and I railed hi, for the next two hours.'its pretty sick . I hardly was thinking about my result, I was really,interested in my freinds tournament. He had been extremely supportive in my tournament and I really wanted him to win. Eventually he came 2nd which was still a sick result and we were both very happy.
The adrenalin started to kick in from there onwards. I'm back in Budapest now, I was very happy to see Ingrid, the dogs and my friends in Budapest. I'm not,sure exactly what I do now. I already was having a good year but this is ofc a welcomed boost to my bankroll. I will probably,continue to play MTTs on Sundays and play the SCOOP when it comes around in the not,so distant future.'im not sure about live tournaments right now, I really loved playing the Sky Poker Tour and I may look to traveling to playing some more live tournaments.
I'm still very, very motivated to be as successful as possible at cash games. I'm going to play a few sessions of 200nl before jumping back into the higher stakes games because MTTs and cash games are just totally different beasts. I still respect money and I still respect the fact you have to be respectful of your game and I'm not going to do anything stupid, basically it's just given me a little bit more comfort to take shots in bigger games if an attractive,opportunity arises.
I will make a video of final table or,perhaps,last 2 tables as a little review and will post the YouTube link in here once it's done.
Thanks again for all of,the kind words, on here, on Facebook and on other poker forums.
