He didn't exactly demonstrate it was possible, yet he did demonstrate that you can make a bunch of money even at the lower stakes games provided you are dedicated and motivated enough to put the time in to play a boatload of hands.
This isn't the first time it's been demonstrated, either. Twisted Echo took a 100NL prop bet in mid January where he had to play 100k hands in the 18 days remaining in the month. He did that, winning 10k in the games plus another 5k prop bet money all at 100NL in under 3 weeks.
There's no doubt that you can make a lot of money playing small stakes games but the question to ask yourself is how much money are you leaving on the tables by not moving up?
