[1] Unclear on this.
I started with 1767 and ended with 10,902, which is 6.2x
and I beat 5 players all of whom covered me, so I guess sextuple up would be correct.

[1] Apparently, playing AA is OK here, but it is the only hand that should be played
That’s a great one.
Flatting AA UTG, then back-raising into an iso-happy reg with a whale behind is already chef’s kiss. The flop is where it turns ridiculous - BTN firing basically pot with 5♥2♥ into four players, BB calling, and then the shove just cleans everything up perfectly.
Love the check–jam here. You let the spew happen, isolate the fish, and get max value without overcomplicating it. Results aside, the line makes total sense given the dynamics. Hands like this are why online poker is still fun.
Hi rubyscott,
Welcome to PokerStrategy.com 
Interesting comment.
I don't see the hand though...
If you need to post a link post it with spaces between the elements like: httpx : \\ www pokerstratey com
A mod will figure it out and fix it for you — at least for a little while 😁
Kicked out on the bubble to the $109 ticket with about a half BB (2.6BB left) more than the person on right, or as Samuel L Jackson would say: Mother.... 
Luckily got there through a set of freerolls not loosing any money.
