    $2.20 6max $3K on on stars for $575 over 1800 runners.
    The last two tables took ages cause everyone was really deep and most of the players were playing like rocks.
    When i got heads up i had 5 million in chips to the other guys 500,000

    $26KO @ FTP. Was never really playing MTTs and just trying and hanging around cashgames. On a rainy day staying with my GF @ her parents. Nothing to do so decided to play an MTT, 1 tabling the whole way.. :) SHIP SHIP..

    Staying with my gf @ her parents house for a week and it was a rainy day. Was not really into MTTs that much. Started up the $26ko @ good old FTP (RIP)... 1 tabled the whole way.

    Nice thread. .-)

    Dont know if it was my first win, but I remember the first "big field" win.
    It was a $0.50 buy-in on PS, I think.

    5.000 runners full, and after 10.5 hours, I won the damn thing!
    Had only been playing for 6 months, I think.
    Not much cash, but what a Rush!

    I had just finished reading Gus Hansens "Every Hand Revealed", and just played his style.

    Maybe I should read it again..... :-p

    Last month thought i'd have a crack at some MTT action which is new to me, as i'm generaly a win some, lose plenty cash gamer. First significant cash was 3rd for $4700 or so on stars $33NL pretty much straight up just in time for Chrissy, about a week later i won my first MTT, $33 Turbo 500 max for $3k. This led to the decision that i'm more likely to be a winning Tournie player than cash game player.
    Though from the sounds of it, this may have just been a flash in the pan. Here's hoping.

    $24+2 PLO8 4k GTD on FTP, for ~$1400.

    It still holds up as my 2nd biggest cash, and easily my most satisfying poker moment.

    Monkey R&A on the old paradise, god i loved that site b4 the merge they did.. Runners are very vague as was many years ago, normally about 300-400, and was for 1300$, went on to win bigger things on Dise, then the site went pete tong and everyone pretty much deserted there. Ever since, ive had a few decent scores on stars, but very few and far between

    I remember it like it was yesterday. The Big 2.20 on Poker stars for 950. Felt so nice to get the monkey of my back and finally cage one.

    Oh wait, it was yesterday.
