Earlier this year PokerNews conducted an interview with Steve “BetrThanPhil” Tripp for their popular Online Chat series.
In it, the 23-year-old online pro from Ontario, Canada said of playing poker for a living: "This is what I plan on doing unless things start to go wrong. I don’t see that happening but you never know. That is why I finished university, so I had something to fall back on. The game has given me a lot at such a young age — more than I could have ever asked for. I just hope it continues to give and not take."
On Wednesday, the game continued to give Tripp as he took down Event #17 No-Limit Hold’em Turbo at the 2013 PokerStars Caribbean Adventure for $133,080.
On a side note, Tripp also said in the PokerNews interview: "I do respect quite a few players. One being Griffin 'Flush_Entity' Benger, he works really hard at his game and is a great person to shoot the shit." Interestingly, Benger is alive and well in today's Main Event.
