Richard, who has been on & off the scene for over 12 years now, won the Sky Poker 6-Max UKPC High Roller for £30,000.
I was looking to write a little report about his victory elsewhere, partly because I've always been a great admirer of him, even though he does not tolerate fools like me gladly.
So, I went to google, & found a remarkable blondepoker interview with Richard, which, spookily, was published 9 years - to the day - before the High Roller.
It's worth reading, not only because Richard is one of a kind, but it also reminds us what an amazing interviewer Jen Mason is.
Read & enjoy.

Loved this
I have many ideas about tournaments that are unconventional and that many people would consider simply wrong. Those people are welcome to continue reading Harrington on Hold'em, calculating their "M" to eight significant figures and exhibiting the same amount of independent thought as the number of tournaments they've won. If you want to read and follow instructions to the letter, go assemble some furniture.

When he gets chips, he's a nightmare.
His THM shows 9 wins & runner up spots.

I remember (sort of) his exit hand that year. First glance it looked like massive spew in a situation where you couldn't have got me to put my chips in with a shotgun pointed at me. It was last hand before dinner (or some other break) and something like AK for Jamie Gold and J3 for Richard. Or I might be thinking about a completely different hand in a different tourny in a different year. Cliffs were he was sure Gold was at it on the last hand before a break, so stuck it up him and got the bad news. I knew I'd have been out of the cardroom quicker than he was... not because I'd made the same play, but b/c I'd snap-folded pre and beat the rush for the bathroom Q.
Made me realise that even if I was sure Gold was at it, with $164K locked up and a decent stack, I din't have the stones to make the same play.

Yup, watching it now.
David Tuchman, who has done well for himself on TV across a range of Sports, is commentating. Not sure poker is his strongest suit, but he works very hard.

Was surprised to see his name in the chip counts for final table as he hardly seems to play the circuit but a fantastic player when puts himself about congratulations

blonde should keep doing these interviews imo, way better time spent than starting these forced threads, an interview every 2-3 days would bring a lot of traffic, especially with social media.
