    I played in a play in a WSOP tournament at Binions 15 years ago. I came in 43rd place. It is still one of the WSOP moments EVER!

    Biggest accomplishment at wsop by far is Merson's 2012 win of the 10k 6-max and the 10k main back to back!

    Baxter did not go to Ungar to buy him in for his third win, Ungar pestered Baxter when he was at a poker table to stake him. At the table, Baxter also famously said (as a joke), “Stuey, if there’s one hand that you’re not at the table, I’m gonna kill you.”
    Another crazy Ungar Baxter story: Baxter buys Ungar into the main event, and Ungar laps the field on day one, amassing a huge chip lead and appearing ready to run the field over. Unfortunately he then goes back to his room that night and overdoses on cocaine. They take him to the hospital and he misses the other two days of the tournament. But he had accrued so many chips that he actually blinded all the way through day 2, and ended up making the final table before finally blinding out in 9th place and cashing in the tournament. That was the reason Baxter made the joke about Ungar missing hands in the tournament.

      I like the story Mike Sexton tells. He talks about staking him and one day he was right for money. So when he ran into Stu Stu said before Sexton could ask “right now you’re at the top of the list. If you say anything. You’re going to the bottom of the list” and Sexton was like “no no no”

    I love how so many people use the term "conspiracy theorist" as a slur or an attack to try and win an argument or discredit someone. In this particular case with Daniel, if you think he didn't know exactly how many points he had at any given time, especially how invested in it he was, then I have some beachfront property in Mongolia to sell you. It's also not a conspiracy when it's just one guy, by definition. "no hard evidence", like what? A voice recording of Daniel saying he knew? A text to a friend? What proof could possibly be found without a direct confession? A conspiracy would be the WSOP and staff to make Daniel the winner which I don't believe happened as they have far to much rep to lose if found to be true. A bit like if you and an opponent table a hand and the other player misread their hand. The dealer doesn't catch it, shoves you the pot, and you know it's a mistake but don't say anything. It's not a conspiracy theory just one dishonest guy.
