I have had the privilege to work with Jeff and his team on a series of licensed products and I was honored to be asked to co-host this tournament with him.

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.
