He has played in several tournaments since the main event but almost all of them were Charity Tournaments he has either hosted or played in. |
I hope my post wasn't interperted wrong. I was actually trying to say that I admire the fact that he hasn't given the money back and is using his money wisely.
Too many people win some tournament and think they are the new "Phil Hellmuth" in more ways than one.
Winning the main event is like winning the lottery these days. If you won the lottery, are you going to run out and buy 100 tickets every week? I'd probably never buy another ticket in my life
I have a lot of respect for players that spend there money wisely and don't lose it back. I think most poker players/fans would be truly amazed to know how many of their favorite players are perpetually broke or close to it.
