“I have semi-retired to Asia now,” he told the website. “I came here in March… I still play poker but not for big money nowadays. Actually shall we say semi-retired … I actually won the biggest comp in The Philippines last weekend 450,000 peso and just completed a back to back this weekend winning the biggest comp of the weekend 184,000 peso…. they think I am still a bit of a poker god out here – lol.”
