Used your hotrun too early, next week in the 8mil GTD SM is more $$.
Anyway well played sir!
Congrats, wp! 
We hope you don't leave the Pokerstrategy job - you'll be tempted to run a more serious business now 
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.

After the hand I was super pumped. I was stood up pacing the room as he tanked and tanked and tanked. 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
With 300k bb
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.

That would be really really great, please do DO that ! 
And actually if you happened to have more time, you could even do much MUCH more than last 2 tables, if not all tournament, I'm pretty sure everyone here would be REALLY interested to watch it 
as well as to hear your thought process would be priceless
Anyway, looking forward to the video, and in the meantime congratz again, I think everyone would agree that You deserved it ! wp, sir ♦

Decided to go to Vienna. What up twicet?!
It's a pity you didn't bink a prior weekend - there was a sexy €550 donkament at Montesino in Vienna last weekend, with an inflow of Hungarians who had satellited into it online (mostly fish, I think).
Still, I suspect cash games provide a bigger hourly (though I've never played live). Vienna is said to be the European capital of live PLO... let TwiceT confirm this! NLHE must be not bad either there, with all that inflow of tourists.
Very inspirational, It's people like you who motivate me to improve! Congratulations.
nice win
did you train for tourneys or did u just focus on playing MTTs every sunday?
Ave been thinking about potentially going to Vegas and grinding a whole series. After this summer I think Ingrid and I will settle down somewhere more greeny and homely and potentially buy a house so if I'm ever going to go and play a summer in Vegas this is one of if not my only chance. Ingrid is incredibly supportive regarding it too and encourages me to go rather than anything else.
I'd leave on may 28th and come back on July 7th staying in the Gold Coast (next door to rio) for around 2500 and playing the following schedule
May 29th 1000
May 30th 1500 shoot out
MY 31st 1500 millionaire maker
June 1st 1500 millionaire make
Jun 1st 1000 nl
Jun 2nd 1500 6max
Jun 5th 3000 nl
Jun 7th 1500 nl
Jun 7th 3000 shoot out
Jun 8th 1000nl
Jun 9th 1000 turbo
Jun 10th 5000 6max
Jun 11th 1500
Jun 13th 2500
Jun 15th 10000 6max
Jun 15th 1000
Jun 16th 5000 8 handed
Jun 18th 3000
Jun 21st 1500
Jun 22nd 1000
Jun 23rd 1500 ante
Jun 25th 5000
Jun 26th 1500 monster
Jun 28th 1500
Jun 29th 1000
Jun 30th 1500 mix max
July 1st 1500
July 2nd 1100 golden nugget
July 3rd 1111
July 5th 10000 main
There's a good mixture of tournament to keep ,e hungry such as 5k, 10k 6maxes, a couple of other 5k and 3ks whilst still a bunch of 1k and 1.5ks that would be huge value that I'd grind alot. I'd obviously treat it super professionally and play cash on days off and after tournaments if I busted relatively early. I give myself 30 chances of going deep in something and of course have the main event.
I would probably really try to do a lot of exposure with it all, lots of video blogs and written blogs. It's not THAT long. It's only around 5 weeks and I can fly return for around 1k.
I wouldn't lose that much pace for supernova elite and would still be able to make that.
Any advice?
WOW
Spoiler
Definitely living the dream my man! If I had a spare 80k and the skills you have this is what I'd be doing before settling down!
Good luck Pleno!
