CHRISTIAN HELLMERS

Another victory for one of the all time great tournament players yesterday in the Del Mar Summer Betting Challenge.

I've gotten to know Christian over the years. I don't know much about his methodology but it damn sure works.

I do know it's VERY different from mine.

I once suggested we combine forces.

He said NO before I finished asking.

Congrats to an elite player and all around good egg!

Congrats to him!

It looks like whoever wrote the check/cheque couldn't spell his name right (whited out on the board) and didn't finish writing out the prize amount (just put $100k) even though the prize amount was $152.741.00

Kind of embarrassing tbh.

Not much of a signature on the bottom of that check either...

My dad was very particular way of signing a check.
The signature is no good but still clears.

Come on. Big tournament, big check...and they couldn't take a minute to make sure that the check looked a little more "official" for the cameras? This check looks like a little kid filled it out. A little more "seriousness" couldn't hurt, IMO.

My thoughts exactly.

If I were to ever win a contest I have a funny feeling the cheque I get will be done like that lol, just my dumb luck.
