The Professor, the Banker and Suicide King

Andy BealBill Rini recently posted an excellent book review of Michael Craig's book The Professor, The Banker, and the Suicide King: Inside the Richest Game of All Time.

Don't be fooled, this is not a book about poker strategy. Instead, Michael Craig chronicles the exploits of Texas billionaire Andy Beal and his attempt to take on the biggest names in poker like Doyle Brunson, Johnny Chan, Chip Reese, Barry Greenstein, Howard Lederer, Todd Brunson, and Jennifer Harman.

Beal took on heads up challenges where the stakes got to be as high as $100,000/$200,000. When Beal discovered he couldn't beat Lederer he did everything in his power to avoid playing him.

I won’t spoil the ending for you. However, this is a book that you need to add to your poker library. Click on the below link for Bill Rini’s book review.
