"A well known casino owner wanted to give his 21 year old daugher the thrill of playing in the final world championship event at the World Series of Poker at Binion's Horseshoe in Las Vegas."
-TPFAP pg 122
First of all, I find it rather hard to believe that a casino owner's daughter knows nothing at all about poker, but thats beside the point. I would assume that this was a 21st B-Day present to his daughter. My question is this: Why would it be 'a thrill' for someone who has never played poker in 21 years of life to sit in a cardroom for days straight and play. I would think that if she never even cared enough to learn how to play despite the fact that her dad owned a casino then shes really not too crazy about poker, yet alone likes it enough to want to sit for 13 hour per day at a card table. What kind of lame gift is that?
