I really feel terrible looking at this footage. Stuey looks happy but at this point in his life he was already so far down the drain the idle hope Gabe Kaplan was trying to get into his head in the emotional interview afterwards obviously hardly existed…
Stuey Ungar probably was the most amazing Gin Rummy player ever, most likely one of the best poker players ever, and surely one of the least in-control high rollers Vegas has ever seen…
It’s good to see Stuey hasn’t been forgotten — but it’s sad to realize there’s hardly any footage of him in is heydays…
