I started teaching Mike Frazin, a retired businessman, how to play tournaments in early 2010. Since then he has had a bunch of scores (http://pokerdb.thehendonmob.com/player.php?a=r&n=147406) including 2nd place in a huge Stars $109+rebuys for over $50k and winning a WPT regional $2k for $130k+. I think his DB list is missing a Bellagio $1k+rebuys win for $50k+ as well.
I also taught two of my best friends from NJ, Joe Cappuccio (Joey Capp/Cappuccio816) and Matt Iles (papamat25/I Pay Ur Rent), how to play and both have been very successful online players since. Both cracked the top 50 in Pocketfives rankings before Black Friday with tons of online scores including three outright victories in the Tilt $1k and one in Sunday $500.
