Couldn't resist posting this one. It was a milestone for several reasons. It was the first time I won a tournament where I knew (only when it got heads-up) I was playing a 2+2'er, it was my first ever royal, and it brought me back to even after a nasty downswing since I moved from Stars to Party.

Couldn't have done it without you guys!

Grats, a royal is a helluva rare treat.
