As I was leaving the WSOP the other day, this girl jumps out of her car with her arms waving and started screaming… “Stop! Stop!… Can I check out your car? Oh ya, I work for PokerNews.com… when can we setup and interview?” Below are the results of the interview… great job guys!

PokerNews.com reported on when I got knocked out of the 2008 World Series of Poker. Oh well, maybe next year!
Daniel Moravec moved all in preflop and was called. Moravec held [Ace of Clubs] & [9 of Spades] and his opponent held [Queen of Spades] and [Queen of Diamonds].
