But to the post in question...
I have handed money to Bronco70 at the end of a poker tournament more than any other player I've hosted.
BabyPeterzz has always played a solid game as far as I'm concerned and has had bad luck at my house, but I truly consider him a very solid poker player.
I've been playing happy face good to know ya poker. **** you guys! I haven't tried my gameface on in a long time.
Winter is coming!

^^ Oh, Jeez. The ONLY reason I mentioned Gustavo and Devgchr is because they finished second and third. I don't think they're the only good players. In fact, apart from Austin, I think everyone else plays a solid game. Last week, I almost typed "the top two finished where they should be" (also as a joke), but then cancelled the post as not to offend anyone. 
To my recollection (if there is still any question) the players went out in this order on Saturday:
Austin
Bronco70
Peterzz
Gameface
Gustavo
devgchr
Siro wins.
One of the interesting things about this game was that Austin was on fire for the first little bit and had a nice stack. He went out in an unfortunate (for him) case of a good hand being beaten by a great hand. Siro hitting a straight flush on the river saved him from being on the other side of that bad beat. In any case, as hot as Ausrin was early on, he went out less than an hour into the game (like 45 minutes or so). It was well more than another hour before another player succumbed (me), but that opened the flood gates, and the game was over within another half hour or so. Fastest poker game I've ever played.
Sometimes you have one of those games where you just can't get a hand... this was not one of those games for me. I got good cards most of the game, and ended up with some good hands, but was beaten by a better hand almost every time. And Peterzz has an uncanny knack for folding when I have something, and raising when I do not. His ranking belies his skill as a poker player.
I'm with Gameface now. No more good time poker. Time to get serious.

I made my straight flush on the flop. Didn't catch it on the river. A Jack of diamonds dropped on the turn (or river) giving me a BETTER straight flush, but I had one on the flop anyway.

Think it over... the Jack sits in the middle of that straight flush. Minus the river Jack, you have a flush (no straight). You flopped a flush and converted it to a straight flush with the Jack on the river. Full house beats flush.
But you hit the straight flush. You won.
Since I have no recording of the hand, I'll take your word for it. However, I played the hand thinking that I had a straight flush, and I was trying to squeeze every last chip off of Austin. If I indeed only had a flush, then yes, I got super lucky.
I'm not saying you played the hand wrong, or were just lucky. A flush on the flop is a hand to bet on. As was Austin's eventual Full House. I am saying that Austin had the hand won until the river Jack, but ultimately you won it, and that's what matters.
Perhaps I'm wrong, but I remember the series you ended up with as diamonds 8-9-10-J-Q-K (a straight flush two ways and a hell of a hand.) I'm certainly NOT disparaging your play in that hand, or dismissing it as pure luck. I'm merely pointing out Austin had a monster, and lost a sizable chip stack to a bigger monster, on the river. That's all.
You are obviously a skilled player (two consecutive wins is hard to argue with).

Oh wow, you're right. I did end up with that. I don't see how I could have made a straight flush without that J, and I must have been playing a King high flush. I hit a straight on the river, beating his full house. Crazy.
