Actually, asshat, it's real crystal. From the vendor's site:
Optical Crystal, as clear and as flawless as used in binoculars and camera lenses, represents the ultimate expression of excellence. Optical Crystal is manufactured in large sheets up to 3" thick, and while still molten, is subjected to tremendous pressure to ensure no bubbles, flow lines or other distortions. Optical Crystal is 100% Lead Free and extremely hard. It is this hardness that provides the basis for the brilliant cuts and bevels, as well as the ultra high polished surfaces. Each piece of Optical Crystal is hand polished and beveled. What an ideal way to recognize achievement and express appreciation.
This ain't no cheap trophy. It's the real deal.

LeFou should be receiving the trophy tomorrow afternoon.
Just for fun, you can track the whereabouts of this trophy yourself. It's on its way to Texas.
Here's the tracking number: 851058018813

A few questions - is that Eric, Xianti, Tyson from left to right?
And - is the ATo hand the one that won the last Gauntlet tourney that LeFou won? Or are they just two RED CARDS chosen at random? Does this particular hand have a name or will it heretofore be referred to as the "LeFou"?
LeFou, can you post the hand history for that hand if there is such a hand?

Y'know what I looked but I didn't save the history. It was my last hand in my last Gauntlet game -- in which I pwnd zilchy to lock up this beautiful trophy.
Short version is like this: HU I did my standard raise; zilchy pushed and I called. I think he had a weaker ace but I'm not sure.
And I have no problem calling it the LeFou forever, esp. considering it is red.
