Description:

Al Alvarez touched down in Las Vegas one hot day in 1981, a poker novice and a stranger to the excesses of the American game. Soon enough he was in the casino back rooms and musty bars of Las Vegas, meeting the flamboyant characters who dominate the World Series of Pokerroving gamblers who have won and lost many fortunes at the tables. Set over the course of one tournament,The BiggestGame in Townis both a chronicle of the World Series of Poker and a history of the hustlers, madmen, and masterminds who created the high-stakes game in America. With a new introduction by the author, Alvarez's classic account is one of the greatest gaming stories ever told.
