when i read that article about him in cardplayer, i was thinking that they may have been misleading about the 12 million he won. I was under the impression most of the play against beal was as a team, and he did most of the winning. so that 12 million may have been spread with the other players?
i could be wrong tho. maybe someone who has read that book on the big game can clarify.
it seems kind of far fetched to drop 12 mill just on craps.. i mean you have to win sometimes to right? i guess its possible but damn. he would have to not value money at all. and if thats the case then why be a gambler?

It's actually the case that the best poker players don't value money. Greenstein discusses this issue a bit in Ace on the River.
Even a guy like Greg Raymer, who clearly isn't Mr. Gambool, makes it pretty clear that there are higher priorities in his life, particularly his family.
