The extraordinary life of the best poker player who ever lived When
Stuey 'The Kid' Ungar took his first World Series of Poker title,
one journalist asked him what he would do with the money. His
answer: 'Gamble it'. Stuey grew up among the hoodlums and wiseguys
of New York's Lower East Side. A pint-sized high-school drop out
who never worked a day in his life, never had a bank account or
paid a penny in taxes, he lived to gamble and became the world's
most feared card player. From the multi-million dollar fortune he
won and lost, the addictions that consumed him, and one of the
greatest phoenix-from-the-ashes comebacks of all time, this is the
story of a Las Vegas legend.
