I’ll show them — 20-1!
What’s the first thing you’re going to do to celebrate?
Going home to shower, relax. It’s my friend's birthday today, so we’re gonna go out later. I’ll be buying a bottle and pour it over his head. [Laughs]

I ran like God. I was hitting trips, flushes, and straights. I also outplayed him in a couple of pots. The big hand was the 5x3x.
