Modified dolphin leap definition

I originally defined a dolphin leap as a hand which vaults you into the black at the very end of a session, during which you've been underwater up until that point. The problem with this definition is that the leap could actually be quite a small one. I'd like to make a new definition. From now on, a dolphin leap will have to satisfy the following criteria:

- it must be the hand with the largest positive hand delta of the session
- it must be one of the last two hands of the session
- it must take you into, or back into, the black

Last night, I had a dolphin leap under the new definition. On hand 39 of 40, I had a hand delta of $28,568, which took my session balance from $-22,954 to $5,614. For the record, my winning hand was two pair, aces and queens.

During current Hold'em session you were dealt 40 hands and saw flop:
 - 3 out of 5 times while in big blind (60%)
 - 1 out of 4 times while in small blind (25%)
 - 13 out of 31 times in other positions (41%)
 - a total of 17 out of 40 (42%)
 Pots won at showdown - 2 of 5 (40%)
 Pots won without showdown - 1

delta: $5,614
cash game no limit hold'em balance: $5,897,017
balance: $7,186,248
