[2] Salaburu, known as "Treadinwater" online, took in $208,159 on PokerStars, placing well at the $320 Wednesday 1/4 million for a sizable $39,232; Sunday Second Chance for $34,689; and fourth at the Super Tuesday for $29,400.
A significant moment for Salaburu in this event was when he managed to get the chip lead, at a time when there were only 27 players left.
During his many years of playing poker he suffered some big swings, especially in cash games, which were partly due to bankroll management issues.
He was brought up by a single mother, who divorced his father a year after Robert was born.
