Stu Ungar Untold Tales: Hellmuth Remembers Stuey's Total Recall


At the time Ungar first visited Las Vegas in , gin was still popular in a tournament format, much like heads up poker tournaments.
Ungar won or finished high in so many gin tournaments that several casinos asked him to not play in them because many players said they would not enter if they knew Ungar was playing.
Baxter noted when Ungar first entered the room, Baxter did not believe he was his opponent because of Ungar's youthful looks and small stature.
Baxter also said that during their match, a Coca-Cola crate had to be placed on Ungar's chair so he could reach the table. Though he is nowadays more well known for his poker accomplishments, Ungar regarded himself as a better gin rummy player, once stating,.
Some day, I suppose it's possible for someone to be a better no limit hold 'em player than me. I doubt it, but it could happen.
But, I swear to you, I don't see how anyone could ever play gin better than me. Stu finished 34th of 41 players. Poker legend Doyle Brunson remarked that it was the first time he had seen a player improve as the tournament went on.
Ungar won the main event, defeating Brunson to become the youngest champion in its history surpassed first by Phil Hellmuth in , then others.
Ungar looked even younger than he was, and was dubbed "The Kid. Ungar was nearly not allowed to defend his title. Several days before the main event, he was banned from Binion's Horseshoe by Benny Binion because he spat in the face of a dealer after losing a sizable pot in a high-stakes game.
It was only when Binion's son, Jack , interceded and convinced his father to let Ungar play, citing the media attention that the defending champion would attract.
In the World Series of Poker , Ungar won his fourth bracelet. Ungar's prodigy-level IQ and total recall [3] contributed to his blackjack card counting abilities, which were so sharp that he was frequently banned from playing in casinos; he was eventually unable to play blackjack in Las Vegas or anywhere else.
Ungar won the bet. Ungar was fined in by the New Jersey Gaming Commission for allegedly cheating while playing blackjack in an Atlantic City casino.
The casino said that Ungar "capped" a bet put extra chips on a winning hand after it was over to be paid out more , something he vehemently denied.
Ungar believed that his memory and card counting ability were natural skills and thus he did not need to cap bets or partake in any form of blackjack cheating.
In his biography, Ungar claimed he was consequently so exhausted from travel and court proceedings that he was not able to successfully defend his WSOP main event title.
Since Ungar was a known card counter, the casino managers agreed on the condition that his betting would have a high and a low limit a limited spread , which, they presumed would render useless Ungar's card counting ability.
However, in the game of single-deck blackjack, playing strategy i. Ungar's mother had died in It was also around this time that Ungar began using cocaine.
He noted in his autobiography that at first he used it on the advice of fellow poker players because of the drug's ability to keep someone up and energized for a long period of time, something that would come in handy during marathon poker sessions.
However, recreational use soon led to addiction. Ungar and Madeline were married in and had a daughter, Stefanie, that same year.
Ungar also legally adopted Madeline's son from her first marriage, Richie, who adored Ungar and took his surname.
Ungar and Madeline divorced in Ungar's drug problem escalated to such a point that during the WSOP Main Event in , Ungar was found on the third day of the tournament unconscious on the floor of his hotel room from a drug overdose.
His addiction took such a physical toll that in an ESPN piece, many of Ungar's friends and fellow competitors said that they thought that he would not live to see his fortieth birthday.
In the same piece, one friend said that the only thing that kept him alive was his determination to see his daughter grow up.
Most of Ungar's winnings at the poker table he lost quickly betting on sports or horses, always looking for "action". Many of Ungar's friends, including Mike Sexton , began to encourage him to enter drug rehab and offered to pay for Ungar to receive treatment at any facility in the world.
Ungar refused, citing several people he knew who had been to rehab previously who told him that drugs were easier to obtain in rehab than on the street.
In , Ungar was deeply in debt and clearly showed physical damage from his years of addiction. Ungar was exhausted on the tournament's first day as he had been up for over 24 hours straight trying to raise or borrow enough money to play in the event.
At one point midway through the first day of play, Ungar began to fall asleep at his table and told Mike Sexton who was also playing he didn't think he could make it.
After encouragement from Sexton and a tongue lashing from Baxter, Ungar settled in and made it through the day. During the tournament, Ungar kept a picture of his daughter Stefanie in his wallet, and he regularly called her with updates on his progress.
Following an up-and-down first day, Ungar showed up for each subsequent day well rested and mentally sharp. People would occasionally see him begging for poker money which he would use for drugs.
Because of his extremely damaged nasal membranes, Ungar began smoking crack and was, subsequently, arrested. He had passed away. Quite simply, his weakened, frail body could not take it anymore.
Bob Stupak covered all of the funeral costs. In fact, Sexton eulogized Ungar at his funeral. The two became friends at a time when Sexton had been suffering a losing streak.
He says that Ungar would always loan him money, and he reciprocate the favor, even putting Ungar up in hotels. While Ungar was widely known for his generosity—to his friends, cab drivers, dealers, and even strangers—he was equally known for his uber aggressive poker playing style and uncanny, well-timed bluffs.
Many in the poker world regard Stu Ungar as among the greatest—if not THE greatest—naturally talented poker players in the history of the game. In some ways, you could call him ruthless at the table.
Everyone in the poker world knows about the legend, Stu Ungar. The Kid. The poker genius and icon who let his demons get the best of him.
Hän oli kuitenkin hävinnyt suuren osan summasta suurten panosten peleissä Bellagion kasinolla. Vaikka Ungar voitti urallaan miljoonia dollareita pokerilla hurjimmat arviot ovat yli 30 miljoonan , hän kuoli varattomana.
Ungarin ystävä, pokeriammattilainen Bob Stupak järjesti keräyksen, jolla Ungarille saatiin järjestettyä hautajaiset.
The Hendon Mobin tietokannassa Stu Ungarin uran turnausansiot ovat 3,3 miljoonaa dollaria [6].
