 Robert Varkonyi wins 2002 World Series of Poker
Matt Damon noted in the classic gambling film "Rounders" that 'the same guys make the final table at the World Series of Poker every year." Indeed, in most years there's several former champions represented on the tournament's final day.
None of the final 9 this year had ever been at the final table before and had a combined career earnings in the WSOP of $450,000.
So do a lot of other students, however, but they don't end up beating 13 former WSOP champions on their way to 2 millon bucks.
