During this week that we celebrate the final table (finally!) of the World Series of Poker Main Event, we should take the time to remember one of the legends of the game that left us too soon. The late, great Stu Ungar was the only man ever to win the Main Event three times. Not only did he win in back-to-back years in 1980 and ’81, he also came back to win again in 1997.

Let me tell you a Story of Luck and a little Skill
