seems pretty obvious to me.
If there's a guy who has played only 2 tournaments in his entire life on AP and won them both then it seems plausible that the super-user account has access to these other accounts' passwords and has determined that they are completely dormant and that the real owner is extremely unlikely to return or notice that their account was played on. Might even be just a play-money acct that played one time like 3 yrs ago perhaps.
So he is able to win 1 or 2 tourneys on the name that has practically never been used before, never play that account again, and dump the funds to someone else where he can get the money.

Most of the wins by these users are satellite tournaments. Explains why most places finished are listed as "1st". Very suspect though...

Win a couple satellites as to disguise the validity of their win? Donk luck? Maybe.. but who knows anymore.

This is their second biggest prizepool every week right?

Or, since it seems likely that many people at AP knew exactly what was going on, they don't [censored] around with any of that [censored] and just make as many accounts as they feel like.

koehlheppel might be the greatest tourney player ever!!

dean - is that shot just his money finishes or does it encompass every single tournament he has played on that account.

If you look at the buyin, number of entrants, and payout for 1st, its clear that most if not all of the wins were actual first place, unique wins.

Guys APDB doesn't show when you don't cash a satellite a lot of times. These dbs aren't as suspicious as you might automatically assume.

Also, who else won that tournament recently? Both of those big scores are post POTRIPPER. Does anybody win at Absolute tournaments?
