Carlos,
I just listened to your episode from 2013. Hope your doing well and are on an upswing now.
I don’t want to give too many spoilers, as you’ll have more chances to catch up with Carlos as you progress through the episodes, but in short, yes, he’s on an upswing in both poker and life. He’s got his own, very entertaining Twitch channel now! http://www.twitch.tv/carloswelch
