i can't believe that mario lopez was able to win this epic event, really outstanding performance from him, not every dude is capable of beating such opponents like ruben baros, patricio rojas, german christiansen and a few more. that's just mind blowing achievement. congrats mario dude.

He did not beat them IRL just in cards. Not the same but I still consider your mind blown...
