In an interview to Poker News Daily, Suharto reveals what his life has been like over the past 100 days.
He says that at that time when tournament went to a break he felt so tired that the break was great. Now, after waiting for three months he thinks that going in the break was horrible, because he has waited for three months and still don’t know what is going to happen. He also thinks that when you play a lot, your reads are on, but now after a long break he can’t be that sure.
Suharto is a member of the Million Dollar Men and signed by PokerStars. He praises that PokerStars have been very supportive to him and other players at the final table who are sponsored by PokerStars. He thinks that he will continue working with PokerStars in the future.
Suharto have played couple big tournaments this autumn to collect some live tournament experience. At one point he was a chip leader of the WPT North American Poker Championship, but eventually lost most of his chips when his aces was cracked by jacks.
When asked if he will be disappointed if he didn’t win the main event, he says that of course he wants to win, but just making it to final table is a great feat. He really didn’t expect to make it so far in the tournament and he will cherish the moment of playing in the final in front of millions of people.
At the end of the interview he talks about what he is going to do after the main event is over. Most likely he will not quit his job as an accountant and start playing poker full-time. He thinks that million dollars is not enough to retire and he loves his job. If he wins the entire tournament it can be a different story.
