I think Rafa started to dig this game, i mean i'm sure that his contract involves him to participate to this kind of tournaments and play a number of hands online.
Still, from his statements and interviews i also think that he likes the game which is great for sure

Yes,....it would be VERY interesting to see how Rafa will do in this tourney after being 'groomed' by PokerStars for the last little while...
I'm thinking they'll have some sort of 'Special Nada Rafal' promotion going on at the same time to draw in more prospective players from huge pools of different folks!...!
