Having found that he had a love for the game, Ian continued playing but he didn’t take the game seriously until he was taken aside by 11-time World Series of Pokier bracelet winner Phil Hellmuth. According to Ian, Hellmuth told him he saw something in his game that made him think he would be a great poker player. Ian took “The Poker Brat’s” advice hasn’t looked back since.
