I enjoyed the book as well. It's very neat to see "inside" the WSOP, especially when the author and player actually is an author.

I do remember something about Jim calling TJ down with AK and taking down a very sizable pot at the final table or maybe the final two tables. It was more Jim's inexperience (fishiness) than a great call.

And Jesus was a suckout animal in that tournament. TJ deserved to win.

I always remember TJ's advice, from the book ("Championship Pot Limit and No Limit Holdem") described in Positively Fifth Street, "A lot of players will put their tournament lives at stake with the AQ. You are NOT one of those players."

And Delgar, I don't know if you're a CSI fan, but the murder trial from the book was also the inspiration for an episode of the show, which I thought was kind of cool.
