New poker book

August 2006

Follow the story of one player's tilt at the big one

New book on the World Series of Poker by Peter Alson

If you diden’t manage to qualify and play in this year’s Main Event, why not read about someone who already did?

There are lots of books chronicling the journeys of lesser and better-known journos and writers as they struggle towards the coveted gold bracelet.

The difference with this one being that it’s a bloody good read, from the coauthor of the brilliant Stu Ungar book, The Man Behind The Shades.
