8:34Greg joins the show once again and discusses his incredible run in the 2005 WSOP Main Event. “I was thrilled to get moved to the feature table…I find it easier to win on the feature table. A lot of players…they don’t make plays at the feature table because they don’t want to look stupid when it gets on TV. They are much more straight forward in how they play things. They don’t try crazy bluffs.”
