The author goes to Las Vegas to cover women in poker during the 2000 World Series of Poker and takes his advance on the article and wins a satellite into the World Series of Poker main event. Also while this is going on Ted Binion murder trial is happening in the court house there. The Binion family that owns the Horseshoe Casino where the WSOP was happening. This is his story of not only covering the events and people but also his participation in the WSOP. The author makes the final table & comes in 5th place. A good read with lots about poker and Las Vegas.
There are already like 5 or maybe 7 copies on system at PBS so probably not posting it there but this might be one that is handed off to others that I know like poker instead. This book was finished in October but just now getting around to log in. October was a busy month for my reading this year.
