Questions for Lex Veldhuis:
1. Tell us how you met Daniel Negreanu and is it true that you taught him online poker?
2. You have openly stated that you would be happy to knock out Antonio Esfandiari. But what is the reason for such dislike for this poker player?
3. You have often been injured while participating in fights without rules. Did you count how many injuries you got? Is there a most vulnerable part of the body that would account for more injuries?
4. You have always been engaged in active sports. Online Poker is more passive.Why did you get so carried away with him?
5. Most poker players admit that live poker is much better than online games, because these are incredible emotions, meetings and moments that cannot be present in online poker. Don't you feel these feelings? Why are you so tired of live tournaments?
6. You are very sociable during online games. I read that you love to make fun of your opponents. How exactly are you kidding? Is there a favorite joke, which, perhaps, is addressed to one opponent? If so, could you tell us about it (who and how are you making fun of)?
7. You have been subject to tilt for a long time. Can you tell us more about this? How did you cope with this condition?
8. Do you have any bad habits (any, not necessarily related to poker)?
9. If online poker ceased to exist (God forbid), would you participate in live events or your interest in this game would have disappeared?
10. I think that nothing has changed for you during the pandemic, because live tournaments are not so interesting to you. But there have become a lot more players in online. Has it become harder for you to play? How did this period affect your bankroll?
Thank you very much!:girl:

-What is in your opinion the most important stage (in terms of stack size) of a tournament that a player needs to master, otherwise he will never be successful at MTTs: the early stage, the mid stage, the 60-40bb stack, the 40-20bb stack, the late stage, the bubble, etc?

Questions for Joe Cada:
1. You dropped out of college. Do you regret it?
2. Have you ever thought about what your children will think of you when they find out that you have dropped out of college? Aren't you afraid that you will become a bad example for children? How would you explain to your children the importance of getting an education, given that you yourself preferred poker to education?
3. Your parents didn't approve of you taking poker seriously. Have you managed to prove the reliability of this earnings? How do they feel about it now and do they cheer for you when you go to tournaments?
4. Your mother was involved with the poker industry. I know that terrible things could happen at poker tables before certain rules and penalties appeared. Are there any stories from her experience that she could tell you that would surprise or shock you?
5. Could you tell us where you invest your income? Maybe there are projects that you support?
6. I read that you wanted to open a bar. Do have any idea what kind of bar it will be? In what style? In what city?
7. You have become the youngest player to receive a bracelet. It attracted a lot of attention. How did you manage not to catch the star disease, keep your sanity and move on?
8. At the beginning of your career, you went to play in Canada because your age did not allow you to play in the USA. But where have you really enjoyed playing before? Where do you like to play now?
9. One day you were very lucky, and you found sponsors to participate in the tournament (although it is still a question which of you was luckier). Have you thought about becoming a sponsor of any player?
10. Have you performed any actions not related to money that you could be proud of? For example, were a donor or something like that?
Thank you very much! :girl:

For Ben -
Recently you were awarded the GPI's Best Streamer award, which was definitely well deserved. Given you have a great sense of humour and timing, what else do you think makes you as popular as you are?
Do you ever feel in competition with other poker streamers or do you just do what comes naturally?
Given you have a degree in Journalism, Film and Media, is there anything you hope to accomplish in the future?
