Since its first publication twenty years ago, 'The Biggest Game In Town' has become a cult classic.
Al Alvarez delves into the murky and compelling world of high-stakes Vegas poker, where 'the next best thing to playing and winning is playing and losing'. Deftly capturing the skewed psyches and peculiar rites of professional poker players who descend every year for the World Series of Poker, an exotic world is uncovered, a world that seems too eccentric, too amazing, too extravagant to be true.
