Just thought I'll share with my peers.
its only $1+0.25 , but the $17.5 almost brought be back to even from when I started 
My first victory in S&G real money.
The secret is to manage to play tight trough out. I almost lost it when we got ITM. but managed to keep it together.
Laid down hands like AQs , pocket 10's if someone made a hugh raise before me. Was actually glad when someone called my bets when I had AK, or AQs.
Had a bad hand when I had a TP no kicker and pushed a little just to be face against a better kicker. Been short stacked all the way until last table where finally the cards came in.

I like the limp into the pot with the pp. That was a very scarry flop too.
Glad this worked out for you. Keep up the good play and you'll be boasting about more of these nice victories....
