	Jack Straus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Jack "Treetop" Straus (1930 - August 1988) was an American professional poker player.
		Famously, Straus's 1982 win was a comeback after being down to a single $500 chip, supposedly the origin of the common tournament poker aphorism: "a chip and a chair." Although accounts vary, the most common story is that he pushed his chips into the pot, was called and lost the hand.
		Strauss knew he was almost certainly behind, but he decided that he might be able to beat his opponent by representing trip threes, so he called the large raise.
