While participating in the tourneys of the series, the Triton Poker owner was interviewed by the face of partypoker in Russia Maria Lav. In the interview, Phua commented on short deck tournaments and why he likes playing them, as well as current situation concerning coronavirus.

«I think there is a merit to the panic, especially for older people as fatality rate is higher. I think, it is very critical for every country involved to prepare for the virus in the early stage. In Italy, they weren’t prepared and Italy is now under lockdown. Some panic might be overblown but preparedness for the virus is very important», the Malaysian said.
