It took years and years of heartbreak, studying and coaching, and for a lot of things to go right those days for me to win back to back high rollers against the greatest players in the world.” At the time Emmett appeared humble about his win. “I think 90 percent, or maybe 99 percent, of the players, are better than me, but I love the game and I work hard at it,” he told the outlet. “I’m just going to keep playing, having fun, and I look forward to the next tournaments in Las Vegas and the Bahamas. I love this community of different personalities and I’m thankful for all the friends that I’ve made like Brent Hanks, Ali Imsirovic, Maria Ho, Phil Hellmuth, Sam Soverel, Daniel Strelitz, Jake Schindler, and many more. They’ve all been so supportive and I hope that my presence will encourage more amateur players to play the big events.” That event, which took place at the Aria Casino in Las Vegas, saw Emmett take home a $102,600 prize and came above two other players Sam Soverel and Kristina Hoist.
