I am still so surprised by how fast it’s all going. Back in 2004 I was quoted as saying that poker was still being cheated as a sport because it – and in particular, the prize money – was still being put up by the players.

Poker’s changing, and changing fast. There are poker players who are now big stars, but you can’t get ahead of yourself. Poker is still relatively in its infancy. The EPT and WPT are fantastic events and they have major players, but they are suffering a bit because they are so open; the big stars often don’t make the money nowadays.
