DN, If you will tells us about your first "BIG WIN" on the tables. Was it a cash game or did you win a tournament ? Who was playing ? These are just a few things that some of us would like to know if it is to personal i would understand.

You should look through his old blogs I think he talked about his first big one a few times. Just going by memory I think his first big score came at a plh tourney at the wsop. i think he said he won a satelite for the event but was just gonna take the money because he had rent to pay but Todd Brunson offered to give him the money for half his action in the tournament.


I think this is the one he was talking about
