Jeff Sarwer was the intimidating 8-year-old chess prodigy who drew against Josh Waitzkin to share a US Junior Chess championship title (the basis for the dramatic finale in the film "Searching for Bobby Fischer"). He's a professional poker player now.

Jennifer Shahade also interviewed him for the USCF website a few years ago: http://www.uschess.org/index.php/January/Lost-and-Found-An-Interview-with-Jeff-Sarwer.html
