At his final table during the World Championship event, Law sat with such notable poker players as Phil Ivey, Howard Lederer, and John Juanda. Ivey finished the tournament in 20th place taking home $304,680 and Juanda earned $274,090.

"If they are sitting to my left where they are always playing behind me, it is kind of hard," says Law. "If I show weakness in a hand, they can try and bluff me out of a pot. They are good at that."
