Life as a 2x world poker champion and high-stakes player can swing harder than you ever imagined; trust me, I've lived it! Imagine waking up to find millions of your hard-earned dollars seized by the federal government, only to get it back years later in a moment of surreal relief. Then, as soon as you're back up, you discover someone's hacked you for hundreds of thousands. Yeah, I've been there too.

Today I’m opening up about my rollercoaster journey through some of the wildest swings of my life; from dizzying heights to gut-wrenching lows. Ever had a $4 million payday followed by catastrophic investment deals and losing streaks that leave you nearly bankrupt? Or tried to play poker while refinancing your house mid-game? Welcome to the Jungle, folks!

Join me for this crazy story filled with million-dollar decisions, epic comebacks, and lessons learned the hard way. Trust, betrayal, risk, reward... it's all here. Buckle up, because poker isn't just about the cards you're dealt; it's about playing your best game when life deals you the wildest hands imaginable.
