A mix of a first hand view of the WSOP mixed with the trial of the couple accused of killing Ted Binion. Now you swear and kick and beg us
That you're not a gamblin' man
Then you find you're back in Vegas

It chronicles a month he spent in 1998 Las Vegas living the high roller life on his publisher's $50k advance. From the Luxor to the Golden Gate, winners and losers, he drinks it all in, and keeps a log of his gaming win/loss totals. |
