 (Neil Blumenfield)

Based on the number of tweets and online postings about the man sporting a fedora and sunglasses at the poker table in Las Vegas, Neil Blumenfield was definitely a fan favorite at this year’s World Series of Poker. The 61-year-old San Francisco resident bested players half his age to take third place – and over $3 million in winnings. The former tech executive joins us to talk about his big win and how 300-plus hours of coaching paid off.
