Oh yeah. There was very little to criticize about Max's play. If anything, he was playing pretty tight, and made some folds that were not perfect play, given perfect information. From his POV, though, I'm sure they were marginal at best against Villain's range.

I loved Max's interview with Kara Scott on the final day of the final table.

The following is a paraphrased representation of said interview:

Kara: What's it like being Max Steinberg?
Max: It's pretty fun. I partied last night. What? I mean, right?
Kera: How will the win impact you as a person?
Max: I tried partying pretty hard for the past 24 hours, and it seems to have gone well for me.
Kera: Do you have any advice for the players still in the game
Max: [Speaks eloquently about each players situation and goals and what they should do to accomplish them.]
Kera: What does your future hold?
Max: OMG, I'm so wasted right now.
