Looking forward to your reviews. I've read some excerpts from the Professor, The Banker, and The Suicide King, and heard nothing but good things about the book.
The book is thought to be based on the first match between Andy Beal, a Billionairre Banker and a group of the High Stakes Players known as "The Corporation".
Although, I believe the book is listed as fiction, It's widely believed the following characters from the title of the book are:
The Professor: Howard Lederer
The Banker: Andy Beal
The Suicide King: Ted Forrest
There was a second big match between Andy Beal and the Corporation roughly a year later (Feb 2006) I wrote a recap of the
Andy Beal vs. The Corporation match about two years ago on one of my other poker related websites.
It's definitely an intersting story, it was fun to follow.
