The 23-year-old has been playing poker for about five years and when asked about his proudest poker accomplishment, replied, "You're witnessing it."
Before guaranteeing himself a half-million dollar payday, Sliwinski defined his amateur/professional playing status as "borderline."
Sliwinksi is currently single and enjoys a wide variety of music. When he isn't stacking chips, he relaxes by skateboarding, the occasional round of golf and playing billiards. Should he take home the crown in November, he'll use the money to "make sure [his] family lives well."
