Pronunciation

Ok, does anybody know of a reliabel source we could use to cite the pronunciation of his name? In America, Pius is pronounced Pie-us. Apparently, in Germany, it is pronounced pee-us. Obviously, I don't want to add "pronounced pee-us" to the article as that would look like vandalism or a BLP vio. So does anybody have a good source we could use to provide the German pronounciation of the name?---Balloonman ^{Poppa Balloon} 15:00, 10 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

In this CardPlayer interview he says his own name, here is another interview where the interviewer says it▪◦▪≡SiREX≡^Talk 16:15, 10 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

700,000 Dollars at online poker

I've never before read or heard that Heinz made 700k at online poker. In many German interviews he said that he had trouble getting enough money to play the main event.

Well winnig 700,000 over some 1000 tournaments. Subtract the buyins and there is not that much left. -Koppapa (talk) 22:15, 22 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Not necessarily, 1000 $1 buy'ins still means a profit of 699K. My guess is more likely that he's won 700K in tournies... but may have lost a lot in buy-ins or cash games... or might have challenges getting the cash out. Especially if the money he wanted to get to was from one of the companies affected by Black Friday. How much money does he have sitting on FTP or UB?---Balloonman ^{Poppa Balloon} 22:20, 22 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Joe Cada in 2009 was a successful cash game player who still required backing for the main event; monetarily, things can go sour even for major winners. The reference for the statement is solid, so it'd be difficult to dispute. JaeDyWolf ~ Baka-San (talk) 23:21, 22 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
