The (Un)Official Casino Champ

Raja Kattamuri has been on the sickest heater of his life. In nine events at Choctaw he has claimed two WSOPC gold rings in addition to two other final tables - a 2nd and 6th place finish. He's in the field today and is sitting just above the starting stack.

We asked him about playing the Heads Up event and the PLO event simultaneously last night. "It was definitely a challenge for me, but also really fun. I wanted to win one, but I definitely exceeded my goals."

"In the PLO event I would just play on the breaks of the Heads Up event and when I finished my match. I really just wanted to keep an above average stack. I was willing to gamble a bit more and got a bit fortunate in some spots," Kattumuri said.

We asked what would make him satisfied with this event. "Of course you know the answer to that one. I'll be happy with a Final Table appearance."
