Zeurrrr winning 400k+ Under 18 Pokerstars Tourney

this kid is 17 

how did pokerstars find out he was underage? i wouldn't pay this kid a dime. he obviously knew the rules and broke them. tough luck

yeah man seriously! 

give the kid the money

unless he lied about his DOB on his stars acct, give it to him.

ya he lied about his age on his account thats how he was accepted to play. he put his age at 19 so he was eligible 

amazes me so many people who thinks he should get the money... Have you guys no clue to how much this damages all of us? In numerous countries the legislators are doing what they can to make online poker/gambling illegal. One of their major arguments is that underaged children get lured into gambling/poker/etc. and squander away their future lives on online imaginary fortunes to be made. I ofcourse don't agree with that opinion, but giving this kid the prize money would just be water on their mills. Giving him the money will hurt all of us in the future, it will give the opposition yet another reason not to legalize poker worldwide, Don't be blind, this kid is hurting the online poker industri, wheter you think he diserves the money or not...I say confiscate the money, ban the kid from online poker and do it in a manner that the world will know, that gambling is not allowed for kids, this is IMO the only way the online poker community can handle this, and still hold their heads high. 

We all get a lucky streak every once in a while, young or old.

Jealousy is a mother fucker.

I won a buy in to the world series of poker main event when I was 19. When they found out I wasn't old enough to play in it they refused to give me my prize package I won. It was stated in the rules and I got fucked.
