:club: No wins from other PokerStrategy community members (e.g. German community, Russian community etc) unless the member is also active in the English Community

# Please help us by adding a bold $Total figure for any multiple wins at the bottom of your post so that we can quickly add everything together. We just don't have time to add up every single win.

Make the front page news!

Regular updates and mentions of members achievements will be made in the Community News which appears on the front news page.
In addition to those big wins, we will randomly choose a selection of cashes each week. Post your winnings today and maybe you'll get a mention on the front page this week!

All contributions are welcomed, however large or small, we want to share in all your successes whether they are in the Sunday Million or a $50 freeroll, so add them today, don't be shy!

Big wins = Big coverage

If you win more than $10,000 in any event, do please drop an email to English@pokerstrategy.com as we would love to brag about your win by giving you your own dedicated news item (subject to editorial confirmation) which would appear across all PokerStrategy communities.
A screenshot of your big wins would also be extremely useful.

In addition, don't forget to post your big wins in the English Community Honours Board thread where your major achievements are recorded for prosperity.

Not sure if it counts or not, but won a $22 Tournament Ticket in a satelitte on FT.

[Update by Super Moderator EagleStar88] - Yes that's fine drmikeB, satellite tournaments can be included as long as multi-table events. I've updated the opening post to clarify this. Many thanks and congrats on a nice win ;)
