Interview With PokerStrategy.com TV World Championship Finalist Saviorhun

We catch up with one of the lucky finalists in the PokerStrategy.com TV World Championship, the winner of heat 4 from Hungary, Saviorhun.

Heat 4 Champion Saviorhun

PokerStrategy.com: How did it feel to win the heat?

Saviorhun: At first I was a little bit confused because everything happened so fast. It was later, back home, when I really could enjoy the success.

PokerStrategy.com: What was the experience of playing in a TV studio like?

Saviorhun: When we stared to play I enjoyed each second of the game. I managed to make good decisions and I had lots of good situations, tried to avoid difficult situations because I knew that there were some better players at the table. 

PokerStrategy.com: You didn't think you had a chance to win before the heat, do you now think you have a good chance to do well in the final?

Saviorhun: Well, I'm not the lucky type, I've never won a big spot in my life and I have a quite bad year behind me, so I just came to London to have fun, without thinking of winning or losing...

PokerStrategy.com: How did you enjoy the experience of coming to London and the hospitality from Poker Heaven?

Saviorhun: I loved the city, the hotel, I had a really good time there and I would like to thank everybody who helped me to get there and to take part of this event.

"I'm not the lucky type, I've never won a big spot in my life"

PokerStrategy.com: What was the response like back home when they heard you won?

Saviorhun: My friends and family were all so proud of me and it felt so good to receive all the compliments from them and from those who commented on the website as well.

PokerStrategy.com: Have you looked at the other heats in the ticker to see what your opponents will be like?

Saviorhun: I followed all the heats in the news, but I don't really know anyone except axleska the Hungarian coach from whom I've learned a lot.
