One of a Kind--#64 finished

This is a biography of Stu Unger, a guy many say was the best poker player that lived.  Interesting and tragic life.  Sounds like a helluva card player but also addicted to action so lost lots of money on other gambling--horses & sports betting.  Then since he lived in '70s, '80s & '90s became addicted to drugs and at end of life crack.  The only 3 time winner of the World Series of Poker and winner of several other tournaments and helped popularize the game but died before it exploded in late 90s or early 2000s.  Overall just a sad story of his life and what could have been if he could have controlled some of his demons. 

There is 1 WL for this book so will probably post it soon & mail off but have enough credits right now.
