No. When he came over from Indonesia he was going to go into premed in New York. But he ended up deciding to go to Oklahoma State sand studied business because he had a friend going there and he thought it would be easier. He ended up going go back to Indonesia and ran up credit card debt gambling and to be able to pay it off he conned his parents (who here very successful business people) telling them that he wanted to get his MBA back in the States- so they gave him money and he got his MBA at Seattle. Problem was the first $15,000 of the $40,000 they gave him went to the credit card debt - so at the end he had to make up the $15,000 to pay for his tuition so he started going to the Harrah's in Washington and thats when he really got into poker.

It's in the July issue of Bluff with him on the cover.
