Winner Quotes:
“It’s amazing. I think about the time when I first started to play poker. It was my dream. I am very glad to win. It’s very good to win. I have more money, but now, I need to win the Main Event [laughing].
“We [Russian players] are all friends because we all started playing about the same time, five to six years ago. Everybody is congratulating me. We are very close. It’s a very difficult question to answer, because it all depends on the governments. It’s up to them to decide how poker is going to be.”
