We all started with a lot of chips at the final table, and when everybody has a big stack I tend to treat it like a cash game, playing suited connectors and small pairs. Usually it’s only towards the end, when the blinds get really high, that you have to shift gears into more of a tournament style.

I was very happy to have position on Bengt Sonnert and Daniel Negreanu. I’ve been playing with Daniel for over 10 years now so I know his game pretty well. He’s said many times that he’s not able to play his normal game when I’m on the table, especially to his left, and I think I was able to take advantage of it.
