1 of the meanest guys I have ever had the displeasure of playing with. Twice was enough to last a lifetime.

Didn't even know he was well-known until he walked away from the table and someone pointed him out. Table consensus was he was arrogant and we were all beneath him.

That's about it.

wasnt amnon charged with trying to grow weed in a warehouse in downtown NYC? what kind of a moron attempts something like that? of all places to get a grow operation going, he does it in the busiest part of one of the most densely populated cities in the world. what did he expect to happen? he always seemed like a bit of a dick, too. just watch the episodes of high stakes poker he was on. complete tool.

I had the pleasure/displeasure of playing on his table at the WSOP some years ago for 3 or 4 levels so 6-8 hours. Got similar impression as above and not surprised he is alleged to be involved in criminal activity. What made it even worse that we had a fan boy or two at the table. Still cringe about it to this day.

He raises money for charity, and is still pretty active making videos on Youtube on various topics.

If you want to check out what hes up to, check his Youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/AtheneWins

I'm not sure how much hes making doing other stuff, but he did and was probably quite easily capable of continuing with SNE what at the time was like $100-120K? But he lost his Team Online Pro status, either because Belgium got some regulation that they're not allowed in Stars anymore, or the angling of Stars he did with his 100% rakeback.

He doesn't seem like a guy who is motivated by money (or short term money) anyway. I think he considered poker 'completed' after reaching SNE, doing 1M hand challenge and getting Online Pro status, so he probably just decided to move onto next computer game

I know he was doing a lot of gaming for good stuff was just wondering if he still played, guess he doesn't.

Filippi is locked up until 2019.

+ Part-time student

+ Did play something like 4-5m hands life time

+ Does admit he ran like God at nosebleeds for some time, so he didn´t mind running bad at mid/high stakes

+ Did play a long session on Pokerstars on New Year´s Eve once, just so he could run up his account balance on Pokerstars to >$1m (Says he did accomplish this feat on two different sites)

+ Didn´t sell any pieces while playing $500/$1000/$40k CAP (just let this sink in for a moment, sooooooooo degen)

+ Did catch a "friend" of his stealing 500 Euro bills from his wallet.Thinks there might be a chance said friend stole something like 40k from him. Dealings with money in real life tend to be super random so he basically never knows the exact amount he´s carrying around at any given moment

etc etc

Dealt to Eric Baldwin at a WSOP event just recently [On first recollection, it was either the $1500 or 6-max]. So yeah, he's still playing.

I interpreted his mention of Dan Coleman in regards to his shunning of media attention and not wanting to promote poker due to its "dark side".
