this guy has shown excellent bank roll management and its good to see Toby ain't just flicking it in because he can either.
Did I ever tell you that I named one of the twins after him

This is one of the sickest things I've ever seen:

Average Buy-In - $2.49
Games Played - 9906
Prizes Won - $1,022,946

Even if he earned 2 FPPs for every one of those games he played, it is still nowhere near the 107,000 FPPs needed to enter that freeroll. Meaning he must have played multiple rounds of qualifiers in which it only takes losing one of them to throw you back down to step 1 or 2. And then to play so many hours in a high level game and win...beyond astronomical odds.

Somebody suggested that he couldn't take the tourney dollars as it was WCOOP. 

Wouldn't be surprised if he was tilted when he found he couldn't just take home the $5k.   Am guessing that would have been much more than his bankroll at the time.

Is this more of an achievement than Moneymaker?  Didn't he start in a sat costing a few dollars?  Apologies for the bad memory if not so.

The fpp mega path sats started at 3fpp's, for this.

It was around noon in Russia when Sharafutdinov completed his incredible journey having spun 40 FPPs, around 11.4% of a car air freshener in the PokerStars VIP shop, through multiple Mega-Path satellites into a $5,200 Main Event seat, past the bubble, into Day 2, onto the final table, through a six-handed deal and finally an epic comeback from a five-to-one chip deficit heads-up to take the title and $1,000,907.26. And it all started with those 40 FPPs.

it says he had to sort his backers first pads. So probably won't be 100k will it. What's his real name and is he from Ireland?
