It took four tries, but an Aussie finally won a World Series of Poker bracelet on home turf. Although Australian players were present at each of the first three WSOP APAC final tables, all were won by Americans (Bryan Piccioli, Jim Collopy and Phil Ivey). Lim represented his home country well on Thursday and became the sixth Aussie to win a WSOP bracelet, joining Joe Hachem, Andrew Hinrichson, Mark Vos, Gary Benson and Mel Judah, who owns two.

I don't remember Aaron Lim's name from the begining of this year, but he already won enough to beat many good quarterly results of many companies world wide.
Aaand two years later he is still playing and winning (APT Manila). Good for him I guess - sending him all my congratulations - he is younger, smarter and richer than me so there isn't any real reason to envy his life and achievements I think.
