We found one cable TV interview in which Duhamel admitted he'll be playing more tournaments in person, after years mostly spent playing online. It's part of being a Main Event champion -- becoming an unofficial "ambassador" of poker.
Are you an ambassador? Whether you work in government or simply play poker as a pastime during your retirement, you can be an ambassador. The invitation comes from the apostle Paul:
We are therefore Christ's ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us.... -- II Corinthians 5:20
Some bluffing poker players make big bets with hardly anything; it's known as "representing" a hand. Believers in Jesus can represent Him and His way of life everywhere they go, just as a political ambassador represents a country overseas -- only they aren't bluffing, in the eyes of those who have faith.
And Christ's ambassadors have an "appeal" to make, even if people around them don't want to hear it. It's in other words of Paul....
We implore you on Christ's behalf: Be reconciled to God.... God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting men's sins against them. -- II Corinthians 5:20b, 19
It's your opportunity for a "re-buy" in life, which can lead to eternal life. Are you interested in it -- to become part of an ambassador corps?
