We caught up with Adria for more on this crazy challenge:

"Physically this will be tough"

How did you come up with this challenge idea?

Adriia18: My roommate Juanki "B4NKR0LL3R" mentioned he wanted to do a similar challenge and the idea motivated me a lot and I decided to start working on it.

How are you going to prepare for this challenge?

Adriia18: Not only mentally but physically it is going to be very tough. Mentally, I am going to try to approach the challenge calmly and knowing what am I capable of. The downswings can be dangerous for my mental stability. Trying to stay focussed the whole challenge will be the main goal.

Physically, I am going to try to rest a lot and be hydrated during the whole time. It is going to be a challenge to eat and drink while playing and stay focused on the game.

How many hours straight have you played in the past?

Adriia18: I have played for 13 straight hours before but I have never tried to go beyond that point. Adding the process of eating and drinking while playing will be a challenge itself.

"A mental breakdown scares me the most"

SPinLegends

What are your biggest fears about this challenge?

Adriia18: Probably a mental breakdown is what scares me the most. During that short but intense session I will have to deal with all kinds of situations and I cannot stop playing even though my body might want to stop.

The goal of having to reach a certain EV can put more pressure on me and can be very detrimental to my game.

What can viewers learn from watching you play?

Adriia18: They can see how my mind and my body might change during the whole challenge. I will try to stay in contact with them as much as I can.

On the other hand, they can watch me play during the times I am showing my tables and we can discuss hands and situations.

Are you doing any side bets? Do fellow poker players believe that you can do it?

Adriia18: I have some friendly side bets so far. Some friends believe I can do it, some others have called me crazy. It's up to me to decide which ones are wrong.

What are your poker goals? What motivates you as a player?

Adriia18: As with many other poker players my goal is to keep improving and keep moving towards the highest level of online poker. In my case, my goal is to reach $100 Spins soon.

As a player, I want to show that I am capable of things that other players would define as "impossible" and show my fellow poker players that I can beat the toughest level of Spin & Go.
