JOHNNY CHAN

Poker's Greatest Streak

As highlighted last week, Johnny Chan came to Las
Vegas to pursue his poker dream in 1978, and
experienced ups and downs before winning his first
WSOP gold bracelet in 1985, in limit hold'em, for
$171,000. From that win to his tenth WSOP gold
bracelet in 2005 could only be described as poker's
greatest streak. Top poker players and experts agree
that what Chan did in the years of 1987, 1988 and
1989 was poker's finest achievement, especially in
poker's two biggest events, the World Series of Poker
and Poker's Hall of Fame.

STU UNGAR Inspired, "POKERMASTERPIECES"

Poker Masterpieces was a company I started thanks
to the inspirational performance of poker's legendary
Stu Ungar in winning his third WSOP title in 1997.
Before I elaborate on what I did with this idea, I'd like
to go back in time and reflect on the role Stuey
played in all of this. It was the second day of the
WSOP Main Event, and it was time for the remaining
players to go on the dinner break. My brother Mike
was one of Stuey's best friends,

LAYNE FLACK (p2)

Last week we highlighted the tournament record of
Layne Flack in Part 1 that demonstrated his
reputation to be poker’s final table cash machine.

With his 19 WSOP cashes, 12 final tables, 6 first
places, 2 second places, and 2 thirds on the poker
world’s biggest stage……….. his batting average is
the best in the business!

If you were to make a big time final table at any
WSOP or WPT event, the one player you would hope
not to encounter would be the ever aggressive Layne
Flack!

How One Paragraph Changed
BILL ELDER

My wife Janis and I had just returned from Orlando,
Florida, where we spent a week with our kids and
grandkids at Disney World for the holidays.

While there, I got to visit Dewey Tomko and see the
beautiful golf course he owns, Southern Dunes.
Dewey invited the whole family to be his guests at his
restaurant, Vines Grille and Wine Bar, featuring great
entertainment in the form of a tremendous jazz trio.
Your wonderful hospitality was much appreciated,
Dewey... thanks!

ARCHIE KARAS,
ACCORDING TO JACK

Archie "The Greek" Karas has a story that will be
etched into Las Vegas gambling lore forever. As time
goes by, the historical significance of him hitting town
in December of 1992 with $50 in his pocket and
running it up to over $40,000,000 in about two years
will likely never be matched. There may be high rollers
like Kerry Packer who come and go, but
mathematically, none of them who might win millions
had a starting bankroll of $50! It's why so many people
are mesmerized by Archie's story.

MIKE "THE FOOT" WILSON
The Essence Of Courage & Inspiration

A few days ago I was walking through the 2008 WSOP
at the Rio All-Suites Hotel & Casino and literally
stopped in my tracks, as I noticed one poker player on
the end seat in a cash game. Simply put, I couldn't
believe my eyes.I just watched in frozen amazement
for a good half hour, before I approached him. While I
was watching, a stream of players in their normal
hectic pace would stop by to witness the same thing I
was looking at. As I looked at each person who
stopped by, they would all shake their heads in
disbelief and say, "Wow, that is unbelievable!" You are
about to read the remarkable story of Mike "The Foot"
Wilson!

A NIGHT TO REMEMBER
BY MIKE SEXTON

he first-annual Card Player Player of the Year awards
show was held in Hollywood, California, on Feb. 15,
2006. The event, created by Card Player's Barry
Shulman and sponsored by Bodog.com, was put on to
honor the player of the year as well as other poker
standouts. It was a first-class, gala affair that was a
night to remember.
