I won the US Poker Championship. 540 00:31:42,720 --> 00:31:47,040 Win a lot of money in cash games and myself 300,000 in bags, 541 00:31:47,080 --> 00:31:49,440 covered with dirty laundry, 542 00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:53,200 by checking on one side which says $ 210,000 Winners of Taj Mahal, 543 00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:55,200 go through the airport with that. 544 00:31:55,240 --> 00:31:57,080 Take him back to Vegas and say, "Okay. 545 00:31:57,120 --> 00:32:01,200 Starting January 1, 2000, This is where I live. " 546 00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:08,440 I am basically a cash grinder. I play two and 400. I move to three and six, four and eight, to four and eight thousand. poker boom, before WPT and World Series are on TV, 547 00:32:08,480 --> 00:32:11,640 I build significant bankroll, play in the biggest game in the world. 548 00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:14,240 Finally, finally I build enough money 549 00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:18,520 so I can play in big matches and have to play with Jennifer. 550 00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:22,600 But cash feels more like work. = Whether I have a lot of of money or not, 551 00:32:24,280 --> 00:32:27,080 is secondary. I really like this game. 552 00:32:27,120 --> 00:32:30,000 553 00:32:31,480 --> 00:32:33,720 554 00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:36,080 555 00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:39,000 556 00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:41,400 557 00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:43,960 558 00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:48,120 I really like the tournament because there is a beginning, middle and end, 559 00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:51,640 and there are trophies in the end and it feels like an achievement. 560 00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:54,240 After my bracelet in 1998, 561 00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:58,000 I'm like, "Okay, this is easy! I will only win one every year and whatever." 562 00:32:58,040 --> 00:33:01,040 But then I go from year to year, 563 00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:04,040 and there is a big gap in my first thing and my second bracelet. 564 00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:08,360 During that period, you know, I experienced a number of struggles. 565 00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:10,280 I learn to play many games 566 00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:13,080 I am a mixed game player. I'm always 567 00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:18,360 I am playing high limits and past the ups and downs and fight with confidence. 568 00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:21,560 That is always something you Will face, especially when you level up 569 00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:23,160 and play against better and better opponents. 570 00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:25,760 You ask yourself, "Am I better than them, 571 00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:29,000 or is this my limit? Can I not push further?" 572 00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:32,160 So don't win a bracelet for years, 573 00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:35,960 makes you feel like, "Wow! I don't know Maybe there is something I did wrong." 574 00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:40,640 And it is really good , relieved, if any, to win the second bracelet in 2003. 575 00:33:45,040 --> 00:33:47,240 I first met Daniel 576 00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:50,000 When the WPT first enters TV. 577 00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:53,480 And he's kind hearted on the periphery. 578 00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:56,560 And then that summer, I thought, in 2004, 579 00:33:56,600 --> 00:33:59,480 World Series of Poker, that is the first year 580 00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:02,320 where I think they are displayed final table from every single event 581 00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:04,640 And, of course, it's an amazing World Series for Daniel. 582 00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:14,400 Lately, I've come second, third and it's frustrating.
