My congratulations.
To win a tournament you also need the necessary luck not to be eliminated with 6 3.
I was on the European poker scene from 2010 to 2018 and it was also my main source of income at that time, but at that time I had already focused on the cash game, but where there are big tournaments, there are also good cash game tables.
I also was in Las Vegas once at that time, where I played a WSOP Circuit event, but without success, but playing in all these big casinos was a lot of fun.
All in all, it was a great time, even if the fun has diminished over the years, but that's probably the case when the hobby becomes a profession, but I do miss that time a little bit.

Yes, I had a lot of luck on the day which I am grateful for...though I did also have some shocking luck during my December slump.
I haven't played any live cash games yet though I know it's where a lot of the pros make their money. Getting up to the casino to try the cash games up there might be one of my next goals.
I am a bit wary of the fun diminishing. That's happened to me with my sports betting, where I did very well for a few years 2013-2017 but have since lost the passion for it. I'm hoping with the poker that the friendships I've made and natural competitiveness that I have will keep me going.
