In 2019, he ventured out from the online world to play live for one of the first times, telling PokerNews that the transition was "quite easy."

"I feel very comfortable because it's nothing new to me to be honest," he said. "I feel like I belong here and to be honest, in comparing the level of online to live poker, I feel like live poker is easier."
