Hendry is a seven-time World Champion and is currently retired, having stopped playing in 2012. This means that he likely has some time on his hands to hone his poker craft.

It looks like he's doing a good job of playing solid poker. Good on him finding something to do in retirement.

Yeah I knew Steven Hendry is serious about poker but he might appear to be better than I thought...good luck to him, if his poker skills mach just 10% of the snooker talent he got he'll be a really decent poker player.
