in the pre-final table interview the question was "What is more important to you, the bracelet or the money?"
His answer (paraphrased) -"The money. You can do a lot of good with the money and that is what I plan on doing." That is an awesome answer. This guy appears to be a class-act. He is not pretending to be a great poker player. Sure, he luck-boxed some hands at the final table, but he took the second shortest stack at the final table and played aggressive poker. So far I haven't seen a thing about this guy that isn't positive. edit to add-the "God" stuff is a little much. If God actually helped him win I am going to be pissed, with all the crap going on in the world right now and all...... Last edited by melioris; 07-18-07 at 12:58 PM. |

Agreed, all around. He's a little (a lot?) overboard with the God stuff, but to each their own. He seems like a genuinely nice guy, at least. He certainly wasn't the best player at the Final table (probably the worst), but his heart is in the right place.
If nothing else, at least we don't have to hear any more about Jamie Gold! |

I have to see more about the "God" stuff as I have been out a lot an have not seen much coverage. Having some (professional) experience with people all over this spectrum, it is sometimes hard to distinguish between those people who believe God helps them in terms of personal fortitude and courage, and those who believe God intervenes in daily events to swing things their way. If it is the second one, then that's collusion on a grand scale and the WSOP and the Vatican should look into it.
