Just one last thing, since it has been bothering me for quite some time: The book "One of a Kind" is an amazing book, you should definitely get it. But there are two minor details that I found were sort of inaccurte. 1) In the 1981 WSOP, it was written that Stuey (after CALLING a raise preflop) called a big bet on the flop with KK when the board showed an ace and caught his "lucky" card on the turn. What really happened was Perry Green raised on the button with AQ and then Stuey pushed all-in PREFLOP, which Green eventually called. The dreaded ace came on the flop but the King of diamonds on the turn gave Stuey a set (thank goodness or else he would have gotten third instead of winning back to back!)(Reference:1981 WSOP DVD)2) The final two players in the 1997 WSOP came down to Stuey and John Stremp. While it is written that the final hand came immediately when headsup play started, it actually came about three hands later (Reference: The Championship table by McEvoy, Smith, & Wheeler).Oh, and for people who think Stuey got lucky in the last hand to win his bracelet, you will not believe the guy he was playing heads up with!!! He was utterly reckless throughout the final table!!! He pushed all-in with a flush draw and sucked out on top two pair, and in another crucial hand went all-in with TT vs. KK and caught his case ten (one other player had a ten in his hand) on the turn. He was lucky enough to have made it to the top two, and I believe that the cards finally evened out to give Stuey his third title (yayyyy!!!) Well, that is all, hope you guys get those DVDs, very entertaining to watch "the Kid" himself in action. Long live Stuey!!!
