In 2006 he picked up his fourth bracelet in the $1,000 No-Limit Hold'em event and later entered the final table of the WSOP Main Event second in chips with $17.7 million to winner Jamie Gold's $26.6 million: he would be knocked out in fourth place and receive $3.6 million for his trouble which everyone saw was a huge disappointment for him.

Even though he has been competing in European tournaments for years where he has a habit of final tabling, or winning, non-mainstream events he was the dark horse by far in this year's $1,500/Seven-Card Stud event, not the least because he was up against pros like Barry Greenstein and Greg Raymer. But win he did, making it his seventh cash finish at the WSOP since 2000 and his first gold bracelet.
