It seemed that you were playing very read-based. Are the reads you make the most important part of your decision process? How confident did you feel in your reads when heads-up?

What did he tip the dealers?

Did he have any sidebets going into the FT?

is there any opportunity to purchase insurance for your finish at the final table? if not, were any of the other players willing to make a deal/share action?

How much of his win does he credit to PokerStars' run good on WSOP Main Event FTs?

I second this question.

What were the terms of the 3 way chop?

Ask him a lame question about Ketchup. ( a must)
Some HU analysis.
Was there a chop?

How much % did you sell?

active member on 2+2?

Q: Did you feel the event wore you down more so than other tournaments given the amount of coverage and media exposure?

Q: Your AQ ship vs Q9, reads? thought process?

Q: Were you growing impatient with trying to close this out? How much longer do you think you could have played HU?

thanks and congrats!

he explained this in the pokernews interview

1) its hard for stasko's limp-calling range to hit that flop well
2) if stasko folds he picks up a big pot and is in a more dominant position
3) he has nut outs and may already be good vs draws that can call

He explains some of it here (interview after the first part of the final table):

Pius: "The Queens hand against Eoghan was the most important hand of the tourney for me. Many, many, many more factors played a role in that hand other than 'I got an overpair, this is a good hand', it wasn't that easy. I think it's a very close spot and I changed my opinion during the hand like 15 times. In the end I made the right decision which was extremely important for the tourney."

Interviewer: Is this a spot where the Queens are too often too good to fold, but when you're being snap-called you're obviously behind?

Pius: "Yes, if I get snap-called, I'm more or less dead. But it's a spot where I thought 'This is a very, very sick spot for Eoghan not to have it'. Because normally you'd expect him to give up the hand after I call the flop, because I look like QQ or JJ. These are basically the only hands I can have, meaning my range is Queens and Jacks. And normally you'd expect him to give up against the range because he thinks that I don't fold. But we had two shortstacks at the table, I think I had 25 million, he had me covered and Makievskyi and Sam both had around 10 million. Which means he can put me in a very sick spot here, because I have much to lose, because normally I'd rarely finish ninth with two 10 million stacks at the table. So I thought this would be a very sick spot for him to be light and thought he is sick enough to BE light and pushed all-in."

Interviewer: Nevertheless you made the push and commited yourself, how did you like his play in retrospect, you think he sometimes has the chance to get you off Jacks? Would you have folded Jacks?

Pius: "Jacks is basically the same hand as Queens in that case. I think his play was quite good, thought the turn bet was quite good. It was a very, very tough spot for me, that's why I went all-in after 5-6 minutes and not two seconds. I think he played the hand well, it's just that I was one step ahead in that case."

Since u won, are u going to go to Disneyland?

Was there ever a point where you felt as if you weren't going to or couldn't win?

What strategies did you use to maintain focus and avoid tilt over the long(ish) HU session?

What were some of the best plays you think your opponent(s) made at the final table? What was your best play of the FT?

Congratulations, Pius, a well deserved victory.

OBV some kind of Bacon related question, like how big is bacon in Russia as compared to the US??

Also what are his plans now as far as what stakes/games he will play now as opposed to where he was before??

Does he think he is "too young" to truly enjoy the win? He probably cannot truly appreciate the magnitude of the achievement. This may well be the highlight of his poker career and to have it at such a young age means that the rest of his career may be a letdown.

Since he will be given loads of media opportunities now, what "causes" would he like to champion over the next year? Within poker and maybe outside of poker?

What would he say to an old-school poker player who thinks Heinz is too aggressive? Is there such a thing as too aggressive? Compare your level of aggressiveness in a standard tournament (medium stacks, say) to a deep-stacked cash game.

Looking forward to the interview!

People have already mentioned the AQ vs Q9 hand, so I'm sure it will be brought up. I would specifically like to know: if Staszko had raised larger on the flop, say to 30million total, would he have still shoved?

will you please work on your barreling range by playing cash, seem like you took some bad double barrel spots early. I remember we had an argument once about min 3betting ax as opposed to 2.5x 3betting on the button against fish, what are your thoughts on 3bet sizing these days? Definately thought you were tilting when going all in with mid pair on j5x, I was telling shanetrain that espn3 must have the hands must be reversed with Stazsko folding the flush draw with one over card and you bombing mid pair. And the ace queen hand, well I guess bombing can't be too bad considering how Stazsko was playing. I mean I thought he was terri-bad btw. But did you consider flatting, it would have been tough to play no doubt with him bluffing a ton on later streets, but I thought flatting was definately viable.

What were your thoughts on benba 4betting light early? I was very against it, as it seems like he's giving up all his edges and position on you, not to mention icm and was lucky that it was just a 45-55 and not worse. Obviously i would have been delighted as you.

The aq hand will become the famed hand everyone will remember, when you watch tapes later, will you regret how you played the hand, you easily could have gone out that hand against a top pair type hand.

The 76o against a9o was just you getting too cute, the double barrel was really bad like i mentioned earlier and then you decided to float the CR. I mean from this hand you can tell Staszko is terri-bad because he bet out 20 million on the river. Not only did he play his hand face up, but if you had an ace or the flush, you would have bet more than 20 million on the river yourself. So him betting 20 million is plain ******ed. If he had made the turn size a little bit more and then checked the river or just plain checked the river, you would have bet more than 20 million with your value hands and gave you a chance to spazz bluff or even jam and the tournament woulda ended that hand.

Also i thought your 3bet with j9o was very unnecessary. It came after a 4bet that had Stazsko fuming, so he decided to come after you and bluff you post flop. Your post flop bluff line was beyond standard and Staszko made a pretty ******ed bluff with kq in my opinion when the ace comes. He basically just wanted to make a play and thought oh the ace is a good bluff card for you, i'll just shove with potentially just the equity of 4 outs. I think the spot is curious because you might be unbalanced there, I can totally see you checking jj+ and aj-ak because that's how mtt players play and how you've played previous hands but in theory you should be barreling them for value too. Would you have been able to make the call if you had jj's in that spot?

Pius said to Stazsko that he played very good, followed by a pat in the back.

But how good does he feel Stazsko played; was he surprised by his more conservative button play and does stazsko play like an "internet kid" or just emulates well certain aspects?

what stakes do you play? winning player?

Do you agree or disagree with viewing hole cards during breaks? Do you think this hurt the integrity of the WSOP Final Table?

Do you like to bluff with Q8 more than other hands or was that just a coincidence on Sunday that meany of your 3bets happened to be with Q8?

Is it true that you made a deal for $6M each at 3 handed?

Wow that to me was an amazing play. One of the greatest I have ever seen given the circumstances.

3 -way deal? deal talks?

why river check/raise bluff bottom two pair?

Which player was the most difficult to play against?
