the documentary "The Rise and Fall of Stu Ungar" (based off the book "One of a Kind") did a really good job of painting how significant of a win this was. He also ended up dieing shortly after this win having a relapse with cocaine.

Such a sad sad story. Stu was the kingpin internet kid phenom of his time. Such a fan of his domination at the tables but mortified by his crazy antics and degenerate personality.

I'm rooting for Mel Judah.
