Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Inverted Triangle

Braulio Estima was finishing guys 2 years ago with his triangle.  His triangle was a different set up than most though.  A couple months ago I was watching some ADCC footage and watched a couple of his matches.  About 2 weeks after that I was rolling with a wrestler and found myself in a position that I frequently get to and that inverted triangle of Braulio's was fresh in my head, or at least sort of.  I went for it and found myself being able to lock the position but was not in control of the far arm.  I had control over my opponent and the near arm.  So I reached for his near leg, pulled it to me, bending his body in an arc and pushed my hips forward and he tapped immediately.

This position has proved beneficial in my game and is now a submission that I would use in my arsenal anytime.  Take a look first at Braulio explaining his triangle and then my version.  Feel free to hit me up if you have any questions.
