Mark, you've just won a WSOP bracelet, how do you feel?

I feel really good, really happy, really satisfied, like I've done something good.

You finished eighth at this year's Aussie Millions, is there anything you've done since then to sharpen your game, is there anything you've changed?

Yeah, I had a good cash there but I don't think I've changed anything too much. I played well there, and I feel like I've played well for most of this tournament as well. I've been playing around the world a little bit. I played a tournament in France recently and a couple events in England, so I've been getting some practice.

Have you had a chance to play much online?

Yeah definitely, I play about 35 hours a week on  Full Tilt Poker 

What kind of preparation do you do for an event like this?

Nothing really, my preparation's actually pretty terrible. I go out way too much when I'm on these sorts of poker holidays, which is what this is, so I didn't get much sleep the day before we started, but I got into the groove as the game went on.

What kind of support do you get from friends and family when you're out here playing in these events?

Well I've got a few friends out here. I'm from Australia, so there's not that many Australians out here. I've got some friends in the Full Tilt crew like Perry Friedman who's a really good guy, he supports me all the time. I've also got a few friends here cheering me on.

Could you take us through the heads-up match with Nam Le?

Well he started off with quite a dominant chip lead, he had a 2.8-to-1 lead. I know him as being a very good player and he played very well leading up to the heads-up. I was fairly intimidated by his stack and by his play, but after a few hands, I became very comfortable.

Did you feel like you had a good read on the way he was playing?

Yeah, heads-up I felt like I knew what was going on, and also he didn't put that much pressure on me. He limped a lot of his buttons and allowed me to see a lot of cheap flops. He didn't really put me in a lot of pressure situations, I felt like I was the one putting him in pressure situations, so it was more likely to work out in my favor.

Did you feel like Nam wasn't playing at 100% when you were heads-up with him?

I don't know. As far as I know, Nam is predominantly a live player and when you play live you don't play that much heads-up. I've got tens or maybe hundreds of thousands of hands heads-up, so maybe I'm more experienced than him, in the full ring he's probably got the experience on me.

Do you credit that to the time you've spent playing at Full Tilt Poker?

Yeah definitely, that's were I've been playing for the last year and a half. That's where my game got good.

All right, thanks a lot Mark and congratulations on your win here tonight.

So although Le does have experience in heads-up play, he was unable to bring that experience to bear on tonight's match. Both players showed a lot of respect for each other and their abilities and engaged in what proved to be an exciting battle that was by no means one-sided.

Unfortunately, in the end there can be only one winner, and even Le conceded that there were flaws in the way he conducted this one on one war. Vos was successful in exerting pressure on Le and eventually got all the chips in the middle when he was holding the best hand.
