Stu "The Kid" Ungar wins his second consecutive World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event in this historical footage. What a poker legend. Stu Ungar died at the age of 45, losing his long battle with drugs, but winning the admiration of nearly every high-stakes poker player in the world. No one has come close to his poker achievements. The movie High Roller was about Stu Ungar's life but to many who knew him it was the usual Hollywood bastardisation of facts.

Eddie is a legendary stud and gin player and a mean holdem mofo, the video tells most of it but not all. He told me several stories of the late and great Stu "The Kid" Ungar, my favorite is this one, not on the video but funny anyway. Stu owed the mob around 250k for a horse gambling debt and had disappeared to play cards to make it up. Poor Eddie returned to their dingy Vegas digs only to be confronted by a couple of hit guys wanting to collect off of Stuey.

They made Eddie wait with them. Eddie knew for sure there was a shallow grave awaiting he and Stu in the Nevada desert. Some six hours later Stuey returns and the hit guys demand the money and Stuey informs them, cool as a cucumber, that he can only cover 200k. They ask why would he risk 250k if he can only cover 200k?

He answered cool as ever that it would be no fun otherwise. At that point Eddie tried to kill him by strangulation and was stopped. By next morning Stu had covered the additional 50k.

It is no mean feat getting to be the number one rated poker player in the world. I first met Michael by chance at the Commerce Casino in Los Angeles in 2005 when my then wife and I ran into him in the hotel lobby. She had known Michael and his brother many years ago in South Florida. That evening we had a fantastic meal and I remember poker pro Phil Ivey calling on his cell to see if Michael was interested in a few rounds of golf at 50k a hole the next day...

In 2006 Michael "The Grinder" was voted the number one player in the world by Card Player magazine.

This guy is heads up against poker legend Phil Ivey and is terrified. Phil Ivey thinks the guy is joking. I guess I would be a little shakey too against this amazing poker pro!
