I saw the Stu Unger movie recently. I don't know if he was as annoyingly arrogant as the movie showed but I thought of it while watching the final table last night. This new kid obviously has the smarts but also has a lot of growing up to do.

Of course he does- he's been "educated" hanging out with magic dorks playing games. With all the money he wins, he buys a lot of rims and gadgets for his tricked out car. He is the stereotypical shallow, materialistic 18 year old former loser who finally feels like a man because all of his game geekiness has finally paid off.

Still, he never berated anyone else, he just displayed a confidence (arrogance) that was annoying to most of us. I think that confidence scared some of his opponents, and he controlled the final table accordingly. In a way, his ignorance of the world made him more difficult to deal with as an opponent.
