XXEddie 0 Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 Not to be morbid, but the last time that something similar to this happened was when Stu Ungar was chipleader of the World Series of Poker in 1990, and then he didn't show up the next day. His friend, Billy Baxter, showed up at his hotel room to see what was wrong, and found him laying on the floor, a victim of a drug overdose. Ungar was blinded down, and eventually ended up finishing 9th in the tournament for $20,500.I would just like to point out how great Ungar was.He was DEAD and still made the FTedit-sw(forgot) Link to post Share on other sites

prslacker13 0 Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 Yeah when he is talking about 1990 he just OD'd. If you remember how great Unger was he won the main event in 1997. So if he died in 90 that would be a great i suppose. Link to post Share on other sites
