We caught up with 23 year old Max Steinberg minutes after he won his first World Series of Poker bracelet in Event #33: $1,000 No-Limit Hold'em. Steinberg defeated Samuel Gerber heads-up and 2778 other opponents over 3 days of this event.

What was your first thought when you won the bracelet?

Yes!! I mean, you heard me. I was just overcome with joy.

Who��s the first person you��re going to call?

My twin brother, I��m going to call him up and talk about it. He used to play poker, not anymore though.

What��s the first thing you��re going to do to celebrate?

Um, I might sleep. I might have some other plans but that��s private information [his friends cheer in the background]. I might have plans��

What was the first turning point of the match?

There was a point when I was short stacked and I had queen-nine, and I made a big call down on the turn and river to put me back up over a million chips, then I had some room to play. Then, when I was heads-up I made two pair on the river and raised it up and got a call. That tilted my opponent a little bit I think, and I was able to get the upper hand.

What��s the first thing you��re going to buy?

Nothing. I used to be that person, who would go out and buy something, but not nowadays.

And regarding his shirt and tie, Max told us that ��you have to dress for success.��
