for finishing atop the leaderboard for the recenly completed Online Super Series II on ACR/Winning:

OK, it's not the WSOP, but it is the first time atop any leaderboard for me, so I'll take it. And kudos to ACR for shipping me the bracelet so quickly (received less than a week after the final OSS game Sunday evening). And, of course tremedous thanks to all at TPE for turning me from a donkey poker player into a profitable one. Never shipped a major or topped a leaderboard prior to joining TPE, and now I have done both in less than a year, all with puttingn a third of my volume of my pre- Black Friday, pre TPE days (due to the lesser amount of opps for US players).

Incidentally, I followed up that accomplishment with a rather odd feat this week. I shipped the 1K $5.50 deepstack turbo on Lock— twice! (Monday 1/28 and Friday 2/1, besting fields of 252 and 239, respectively). Not bad considering I only played 14 lock tourneys total in that 5 day period (also had a FT in the 1/29 30+3 5K (7th), but bricked the other 11).
