Married with two daughters ages 18 and 19, poker isn\u2019t a big part of his routine.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In fact, he usually plays with <strong>free tokens<\/strong> rather than <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pokerscout.com\/games\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>real money<\/strong><\/a>. Occasionally Vallis might jump in a micro tournament, but real money tables aren\u2019t a regular part of his online life. Before last week, his biggest win was around <strong>$70<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Then a <strong>$22 promotional satellite ticket<\/strong> popped in his inbox. If he advanced in the satellite it would then be on to another <strong>$109 qualifier<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If he advanced in that, an entry into a <\/span><strong>$2,100 Heat Deepstack<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> was next. Vallis did just that and was primed for the biggest event of his life.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;I hadn\u2019t played a single real money game in over four months going into the tournament,\u201d he tells <a href=\"http:\/\/pokerscout.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">PokerScout<\/a>.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2><span id=\"the_run_of_his_life_at_pokerstars\">The run of his life at PokerStars<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Going into the event, Vallis kept his expectations low. Throughout both satellites as well as <strong>Day 1<\/strong> of the tournament, an <strong>online quiz<\/strong> game occupied much of his time as well.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He played both qualifiers and the deepstack event, as well as the quiz, on his mobile phone. After reaching <strong>Day 2<\/strong>, however, Vallis shifted to playing on his computer but other duties still occupied much of his time.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;I still found time to cook the family supper, steak and chips, while we were closing in on the final table,\u201d says Vallis, who enjoys running and cycling when not playing poker or spending time with family. &#8220;I think those distractions actually worked in my favor as I didn\u2019t have time to think about the amount of money at stake.\u201d<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Those efforts paid big dividends. Vallis ultimately finished third for <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>$57,229<\/strong> out of a field of <strong>234 entries<\/strong>. That\u2019s a big score \u2013 all from a freeroll.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cPlaying in the tournament was an amazing experience \u2013\u00a0I did not even contemplate the potential outcome until relatively late,\u201d he says.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How did it feel to turn his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pokerscout.com\/bonus\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>promo ticket<\/strong><\/a> into such a massive score?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cExtremely strange,\u201d Vallis says. \u201cI have absolutely no experience playing high stakes poker, so I have never really considered the money angle. I think that removed the pressure as I got deeper into the tournament, as I felt absolutely no expectation to actually convert the result into a prize.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ever the family man, wife and children come to mind when Vallis considers what he\u2019ll do with the winnings.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;There\u2019s some things I want to get done to the house,\u201d he says, \u201ca car for my kids to use and a spectacular holiday when COVID permits.\u201d<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Considering his massive finish, it\u2019s fortuitous that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pokerscout.com\/reviews\/pokerstars\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">PokerStars<\/a> email didn\u2019t land in the <strong>spam folder<\/strong>.
