Hey guys! I just wanted to let all of you know that I have just returned from a great little vacation to Las Vegas, Nevada. While I was there I had the pleasure of interviewing the amazing poker pro, Mr. Hevad Khan, at his beautiful home just a few miles off the strip. We talked about poker, his history with gaming and with StarCraft, and his thoughts on StarCraft 2.
Part 1 contains his poker history, thoughts on the 2010 WSOP, and advice for gamers looking to get into poker:

In Part 2 we discuss his history with console and PC games including StarCraft and StarCraft 2:

And finally in Part 3 we talk a bit about the showmatches Hevad has organized so far in the beta, as well as a couple that he's sponsored, before finally wrapping up the interview:

Thanks for watching folks, and huge thanks again to Hevad for allowing me to have this chat with him. Keep in mind also that he posts here, so feel free to discuss any part of what he says. =)

Gonna move this to SC2, since that's where it seems to be most relevant.

Hahaha, one of the questions I asked, but later cut from the poker part of the interview was "Do people see you in Vegas and yell Bulldozer at you?" His answer was of course they do, because Bulldozer is an awesome thing to yell.
Edit: Thanks BroOd. I actually had a small debate with myself on whether it should go in SC2, or in General, since SC2 really is only a few minutes of the interview. But either one is groovy. =)

Pretty cool... glad someone is helping getting these showmatches started early.
|
Very cool, a man for esports is a good man.
|
Lol@ the thumbs up at the end. He isn't a progamer or anything but I thought what he said was pretty interesting. I hope he continues sponsoring SC in the future. (And that MvC2 moneymatch that he was talking about was so baller)

He's actually a fairly decent SC2 player, back when platinum league was the highest league he got to about ~2100-2200 ELO

Awesome interview. I had no idea he was that into gaming.

Nice interview, Thanks much I really enjoyed it.
Hevad your such a crazy man

Great Interview
I just got into poker when I was watching it on TV, and I remember when I heard from somewhere he used to be a good starcraft player, Hevad Khan was instantly my favourite player.
I was playing a low stake sit and go watching the poker interview =P
LoL Nice ending. Not just Great. Amazing interview. This is something that should be on TV.
|
Nice interview. He sounds like a cool guy. I love that he supports the esports scene.

Great interview. Hope to be seeing more of you in SC2 and TV!
