There are much more accomplished tournament players than myself but I have been playing the game for 13 years, and I am comfortable with how I play poker. It has always been how I’ve made a living. Of course I want to win a big event, but all I can really ask for is to play my best. If I played like a donkey and took down a tournament I would settle for that, but I prefer to say I played my best.


I’ve known Daniel Negreanu since we were both 16, and pool hall hustlers in our hometown of Toronto.
