A respectful and accepting biography of a man who was appreciated throughout the poker world for his expert card-playing skills. Ungar, although described even by Doyle himself as one of the true greats was taken from this world at the young age of 45 due to his severe cocaine addiction and drug abuse. Addicted also to gin, this biography tells in painful detail of a man who although worth $30 million at one point through his winnings, didn’t even have enough by the end of his life to afford his own funeral.

This book includes a detailed insight into Ungar’s life, including first-hand accounts by poker star, Doyle Brunson who knew him personally and has many a story to tell the reader.
