Those who are involved in the online poker world know that the GGPoker World Festival (GGWF) makes a point of distributing big winnings. And a differentiator of the GGPoker series is to include not only the most expensive tournaments but all buy-in levels. And this Monday (4), in a phased tournament, a Brazilian managed to turn a very low investment into a huge win.
