“I’m focusing on making DraftKings Casino and Sportsbook the best place to play for those looking for the most action,” said Aguiar. That’s because he’s been focused on his career with DraftKings, which he pursued full time after giving up poker back in 2013. By his own count, the Casino Employee Event will be just his third tournament in the last three years.
