Can we say someone that is really motivated here? i wonder what the plans are for record breaking and celebrating after wards, think it will involve any more gaming?

He obviously is a well rounded player who can play a variety of games with skill. Of course, as always, there is a little luck thrown into the mix but that's a great record to set. It may take a while to break it.

I wish I could break a record but I think the only record I will ever break are of the vinyl variety. That is pretty cool for him though.

I'd like to be his apprentice. A lot can be said from learning from the best. Luck does play a part in gambling but can one guy really be that "lucky"?

I wonder how he was preparing going into all of this, since those are some seriousl numbers and record breaking stats. Was it all intentional, worked and trained hard, or all pure luck?

Motivation has to be a great deal of it Martin but I am thinking that a good bit more is of patience and practice for something like this.

Wow, he must be out of his mind in excitement right now. I'd be happy with just a small cut of that payout! lol

I'm sure he has worked and trained hard. And I am also sure luck played a significant part of his winning.
