What Would You Do With A Milly?
With the $1,500 "Millionaire Maker" No-Limit Hold'em event down to its final two tables, the dream of a $1 million payday is beginning to become a reality for the remaining 17 players. We spoke with some of them to find out what they would do with the money if they took down this massive event.
Chris “Big Huni” Hunichen: “I live in Costa Rica right now and live on the beach. I’ve been thinking about it for awhile now that if I win something then I will probably buy a boat and a couple of jet skis. That would probably be the only monetary items I would buy — I'd also set some aside for my family. Other than that, I would keep living the normal life I’m living and keep playing poker to try to win more.”
Dan Kelly: “I would spend it toward playing in more tournaments, not only during this summer series but afterward too. Maybe I’ll travel to more tournaments outside the United States and get involved with the European Poker Tour or play more on the Asian Poker Tour.”
Bart Hanson: “It wouldn’t go into my poker bankroll. I would take it and invest it. It would also be put towards my site that I’m trying to build, SeatOpenPoker.net. It is a training site for live poker cash games, similar to CardRunners or DeucesCracked. I’ve done training for the last five years so now it’s nice to build something on my own. My car lease expires soon so I may consider buying a new car; maybe a Mercedes CLS but that’s not a priority.”
Joe Kuether: “If I were to win I don’t have any plans on spending the money."
