		In 1979 and 1981, Petrillo made final tables of the World Series of Poker's premier event, the $10,000 buy-in, no-limit Texas Hold 'em championship -- each time featuring three men who had won or would win the coveted world title.
		Petrillo, a professional gambler who helped build the popularity of the World Series of Poker during its formative years at Binion's Horseshoe, died Friday at his Las Vegas home.
		Petrillo worked several years as a blackjack dealer at the Fremont, Sands and Stardust hotels and played poker during his off-hours until he built a stake that allowed him the freedom to quit dealing and play poker full time.

	High Stakes - The UK's Leading Gambling Bookshop
		Alvarez is so effective in communicating the alien world that the Vegas gamblers inhabit that although the main event at the 1981 World Series of Poker is covered relatively briefly at the conclusions you have a grasp of their tactics and that all-important gambling psychology.
		In this book Alvarez comments that there are only two types of poker books, “the how-tos and the autobiographical”, I would dispute this by adding tentatively poker fiction and I would even more gingerly place two of Alvarez’s books into another, very small category.
		Alvarez covers the development of the game with his favourite anecdotes never too far away, again the gambling characters and heroes make themselves known, a flaw is that the stories are often so good that they appear in both books.
