He's financially set, too, so why not refocus on subjects that are more fun/rewarding than poker?

congrats

Imagine if Isildurr had done the same after crushing Durrr.
So EPT Barcelona starts in a couple of days - haven't been following the story of Fedor's retirement super closely ... was the plan that Fedor was hoping to skip this event and take a break?
Sometimes maybe it can be hard to change habits if one doesn't have to - like how Michael Phelps at the end of the London games in 2012 said that was going to be it for him?
Wonder if he'll really follow through and take a break?
PS. Guess Neymar won't be showing up to EPT Barcelona this year either - looks like he's still playing in the Olympics ...
