    Sorry for the trick title but.....

    I met Yevgeniy VERY briefley at the bar at the WSOPE last year after he busted my friend out of the £1.5k event. Seemed a nice friendly bloke. He mentioned his online name at the time and only when I had googled him later that day, did i realise what a legend he was (is). Have kept an eye on his results ever since.

    Just noticed a thread that he created 4 years ago, almost to the week. Just thought it made an interesting read after his amazing weekend:-

    http://www.pocketfives.com/poker-for.../114997#114997

    A brief extract:-

    "Should I continue chasing my lucky break, including a possible run at higher stakes, or just complteley omit poker from my life starting tomorrow? Is it that easy?"

    So Yevgeniy, do you think you made the right decision to continue playing?

    OUTSTANDING results the last couple of days!!!!!

    Are you playing at the WSOPE europe this year?

    haha..nice work. its cool to see that even the guys that make it big question themselves in the beginning when things arent going the way you want it. Just goes to show that when you work hard at something you will get rewarded in one way or another
