In Two Thousand and Four, his competition earnings added up to in excess of four and a half million dollars and he won 2 immensely admired awards in the WSOP Player of the Year and Cardplayer Magazine’s Tournament Player of the Year. In Feb Two Thousand and Six he was appointed Card Player’s Favourite Poker Player. He still has the humility to talk to his fans about how they might improve their own game.
