After Tim Ferriss’s announcement that he is set to interview Phil Hellmuth went down like a lead balloon, Lee Davy explains why he believes he is the right choice for poker.

I asked Dan Smith if I could interview him after learning that he was matching $175,000 in a charity drive.

Cue tumbleweed.

I didn’t take it personally. I have asked Dan for an interview before. He said no. I don’t recollect reading too many interviews from him. I guess he is a private person.
