Steve Sung wins the "Stimulus Event"
The $1,000 event or the stimulus event was available live stream, if you have not watched poker this way you should give it a shot, it gives you a much better representation of how things work at a final table. Event #4 at the World Series of Poker shattered all kinds of records and could have
