I saw him mention it on FaceBook... I believe his (two year) career earnings now top $2.7 million dollars!
What channel was it on?

I missed the ending. He was behind heads-up when it went 11pm last night so a good comeback to win.
Yeah I looked at his profile on the hendon mob page and $2.7m earnings was what i saw. Not bad for sitting at a table playing cards lol. Would love to know his earnings from sponsorship etc.

I heard he was offered 40 or $50,000 to wear a baseball cap bearing an sponsors logo just for the final table at the WSOP.
That was before he was famous though!

Sorry, a spammer has "bumped" this thread, that's why it's showing at the top of the forums. I've deleted her account and the post now!
