Stu "The Kid" Ungar

[Markpl1]

Having never seen him play before or even known what he looks like. I have to say what a sad story his life was. They are currently showing the 1997 WSOP main event on the poker channel and you almost could have guessed at the time he would end up meeting an untimely end to his life. The interviews are almost done in a pleading way hoping that he has eventually cleaned up his life. P.S For those who are not aware "the kid" is considered one of the best tournamnent players ever to live winning the WSOP poker three times (80,81 and 97). Died in 1998 with nothing but about 10 dollars to show for his whole lifes achievements. A bio here really should be made into a film. http://www.thegoodgamblingguide.co.uk/thisweek/2001/stuungar.htm
