I'm a professional world champion. Of course if you're a world champion, you're working harder than everybody else. You're making the commitment, and you're making the sacrifices. If it were easy, everybody would be able to do it. Everybody would be able to be world champion, but everybody can't be. Everybody doesn't have it in them.

No world championship has been easy for me.

Although I have to say, it's become a lot harder for me since I won the world series because everyone wants to beat me. For example, bluffing is really tough now, because there's always someone who calls me on the off-chance that they'll then be able to say they read a world champion's bluff.

We knew that you don't get to be world champions without a struggle.

I truly believe that it's all of the hard times that make you step up to the next level, and that's what makes you a champion.

It just feels good to beat the world champs to be the world champs.

To finally become world champion after losing out in three previous finals is very satisfying. It shows that if you stick to your goals and work hard, you can achieve them in the end.

I feel like winning a world championship was a hurdle I had to get over.

I'm the champion, and to stay ahead, I have to work harder.
