POKER INFO - PROILE - Stu Ungar

Hi steph i have lived in las vegas for 21 yrs and spoke to many people who new your father and said he was not only the greatest player ever to play the game but a great person also. i read the book and thought it was great.steph can you please tell me where i can get any video of your father in the 1980 1981 or 1997 world series. take care Dave

The only place I can think to get a copy of his 81 and 97 WSOP tapes would be from ESPN or Binions. I know the 1980 championship can't be found. I tried to get one myself and no one can find it. I'm not sure if it was even taped. Stefanie

Thanks Stef for your reply i found the 1981 & 1997 dvd on ebay thanks. Dave

80 wasn't taped. wish it was

Just found an amazing website that covers Stuey's 1997 WSOP win. The website is [url="http://conjelco.com/wsop97/event21-4.html"]http://conjelco.com/wsop97/event21-4.html[/url] It is absolutely golden. It may be long, but it is definitely worth reading. For the people that have already seen the 1997 WSOP on DVD or VHS, they will be able to find hands that were never aired on TV. One is able to see how tough and aggressive Stuey played throughout the tournament, and wow, some hands that he plays during the tourney...well, that's for you to read yourselves, don't want to spoil it yet. The current website I gave has a hand summary, much like internet poker, for the final table play. It was recorded by Tom Sims who does a terrific job for his coverage of the 1997 WSOP. There is also a recap article by Ken Adams on the side. In the previous pages you can find highlights of the previous days. Well, I hope everyone checks this website out and I hope that we are able to steer the focus of this forum back to its real purpose: to honor a man that has given so much to the game of poker and life. Enjoy!

He would be good, but he might be too big. Also, Ungar looked much younger than he was, until last few years. But Phoniex is great actor.
