Stuart Errol “Stu” Ungar was born on September 8th in 1953. He died on November 22nd in 1998. He is considered, by a number of insiders and poker analysts, to be one of the best and most talented poker players in the world. Along with Johnny Moss, he was the only player who won three times at the World Series of Poker main event.
In his turbulent and lucrative career, Ungar won over $3,600,000 in tournaments, five WSOP bracelets and over $2,000,000 at the WSOP. He also ranked first in ten Texas hold ’em major no-limit events. Considering the fact that he participated in thirty of such tournaments, he still holds the statistical record.
