Amazing story and what a player but he was a total chump.

 i met mike sexton back in 1999, (he probably new stu unger better than anyone) it was at a casino here in  this country--
 i  was introduced to him by a friend who was then a celebrity player on- late night poker--dave welch--

 we sat in the restaurant having a meal-- the funny thing was, as mike and dave talked about stu unger to me , it  wasn't really sinking in-- yes i had heard of him he had just died the year before in 98 and i new he  had won three wsop main events -- i was more interested in another part of the conversation - dave  was about to help mike set up the online  site
party poker--   but that as they say is another story altogether--

here's a short documentary with mike sexton about 'stu unger'

no problem -- also if you scroll down the left  oops  no RIGHT on that link  you'll find  a 5 part documentary--

called (i think) 'the rise and fall of stu unger' --

that is good-- 5 parts about 10 mins each
