Cool! Where were you playing against him? I'm a poker player myself, but rarely do online games (which I'm assuming you were)... I actually played in the World Series of Poker women's tournament in 2004 (or was it 05?), and sat next to a very famous player - Clonie Gowen. She was really nice, not to mention gorgeous, and busted out 10 minutes after I did.
As she said to me, "See, even the pros don't win em all!"
