Alright, I played some LHE cash with him at the WSOP a few years after his ESPN appearance. He was hilarious. Constantly trying to short buy, needling the nits at the table, etc. He took a brutal beat with class, didn't seem to tilt.
He had a diamond players card with someone else's name on it and was trying for at least 30 minutes to get the floor man to comp him cigarettes from that card, insisting it was his uncle's card. They declined.
He was a true hustler and seemed a lot smarter than I expected him to be. Clearly had a rough life, though.
