I mean, it doesn't say it was any kind of sponsored/mainstream tournament. Coulda just been a local one somewhere.

Bitcoin is from 2009, so it has to be after that. But it does not make a lot of sense if there are already competitions in the >100'000 range.

Why? Local tournaments will never have those kind of prize pools.

But who cares about a random event nobody except 100 people knew about, which happened 10+ years ago? Why not take something that was (near) the beginning of these tournaments or one of the big ones?

Because one of the prizes was bitcoin. That's it. You're over thinking it.

This could easily be fake. I'm just saying that if it's not it doesn't have to be a well known tournament.
