Title: Congrats to Dave McCrary - 1,091,400!
Post by: JCHarrist on February 24, 2014, 09:22:37 am
Big congrats to Dave for winning the DK Open with a new PB of 1,091,400.

This is the highest score ever achieved in one of these online tournaments and puts Dave back into the top 10.

With his strong showing at the KO3 and now this monster score,  it looks like all the hard work is paying off for Dave.

Congrats Dave! You deserve it man!

Way to go Dave!!  I felt like I got my stretches in while playing because I had to spin around every board and see how you were doing. ;)

Thanks guys, and especially to Eric and John for putting on these tournaments. Very cool and generous.

This was a game that I got into a zone after the 1st loss and didn't get out of it. My first loss came early on level 4-4 where a spring barely clip my right foot. But , I managed to go the rest of the way to 21-5 with two men in reserve. There was a bounty for longest 1st man, and longest last man, but not one for longest man in general, because I did 104 boards on that second man.

Love it Dave. Congratulations. 1.1 next? Or maybe the WR?

Not sure on this yet, probably a little break, then sure, why not, probably start bumping my pace up to WR pace. 1.1M is still agreat achievement and something I'd like to have if WR falls short.

Thanks Jeff...sound like you had a nice set up of screens going. That's the way to watch these tournments. My PC probably couldn't handle it.

Good work, Dave. 104 boards on 2nd man is definitely impressive, and to spare 2 men on 21-5.... man, I wish I would be able to do that, it must be SOOOO cool! haha. You should now aim for 1.14m pace, and as you said, even if you fall short, it's still gonna be a very good 1.1m+ score, and 1.1m+ will always be impressive!

By the way, change your signature!  <Allen>

Thanks guys....I do have some badge envy though, so I'll start some badge hype.  :) Not sure if they'll be one for this weekend's event

There wasn't a badge for winning KO3 wildcard main event (And I only point that out because there was one for winning the qualifier event leading up to the main event)

</badge hype>

oh yer lets see some more badges! winning one of these tournaments is definitely deserving of one.

maybe keep the same style for the wild card rematch badges and just change the text to say "DK Open Champion" or something like that since it looks like its no longer called the wild card rematch. either way i do think a badge is in order here Kreygasm

Holy crap! I had to go to bed cuz I had work at 5:30 a.m. (and I just got home from work like 15 mins ago) so I missed this game. HUGE kongrats, Dave! That's so boss! I'll need to watch some of the archive of this game.

Congratulations Dave!  A huge score, but hardly a surprise to your regular viewers.

I'm just about to watch the highlighted broadcast.  Get ready for your 3rd entry in the DK data library!

Thanks Scott, look forward to seeing it. This will definitely be a game that ends higher than the pace.
