It was only after the WSOP, however, that he decided to make a career of his hobby: "I didn't want to be known as a one-hit wonder." Since then, he has picked up victories at Gold Reef City and Emperor's Palace locally, and Sanremo, Swaziland and the Aussie Millions in Melbourne, among others. As of 2009, his total live tournament winnings exceed $3,300,000. His 3 cashes at the WSOP account for $3,063,786 of those winnings.
