One of a Kind: The Rise and Fall of Stuey ', the Kid', Ungar, the World's Greatest Poker PlayerNow in paperback comes the first and authorized biography of Stuey Ungar, the greatest card player of all time, who was backed by the Mob in New York before moving to Las Vegas where he won the World Series of Poker three times, then died mysteriously in a seedy motel on the Vegas strip at the age of 45. He was the Jim Morrison of the casino, a legend before he was of legal age. Stuey Ungar, the son of a Jewish bookie on Manhattan's Lower East Side,

Now in paperback comes the first and authorized biography of Stuey Ungar, the greatest card player of all time, who was backed by the Mob in New York before moving to Las Vegas where he won the World Series of Poker three times, then died mysteriously in a seedy motel on the Vegas strip at the age of 45.

He was the Jim Morrison of the casino, a legend before he was of legal age. Stuey Ungar, the son of a Jewish bookie on Manhattan's Lower East Side, dropped out of high school to become an underground card-table sensation, eventually taking out every top gin-rummy player on the East Coast. Bankrolled by the Genovese crime family, Stuey would soon travel around the country in search of new opponents and opportunities--including poker. He would go on to win the World Series of Poker a record three times. And then his luck began to run out.

One of a Kind is the startling tale of a man who won at his game and lost control of his life. Whether tossing away his winnings at the racetrack or on a single roll of the dice, Stuey was notorious for gambling every single dollar in his pocket. Though he had won an estimated $30 million in his lifetime, Stuey had no bank account, not even a home address. He was found dead in a Vegas motel--with $800 in cash on his person, the only money he had left--at the age of forty-five.

An intimate, authorized biography--Nolan Dalla was commissioned by Stuey in 1998 to pen his story, resulting in hundreds of hours of taped interviews and conversations--One of a Kind illuminates the dark genius of one of poker's most memorable figures.

Great choice for heavy chewers
Perfect for dogs that chew hard! Ours shred comparable toys at every turn, but this has held up beautifully. We’ve had it for a few months and it’s got minor wear and tear, but it is easy for them to play with, hardy, and worth every penny.

Durable, Fun, soft enough to not break teeth
Finally found a quality toy that our 75lb Black Mouth Cur hasn't destroyed in 5 minutes! In fact it's been a few months now. There are teeth marks, but she hasn't been able to take a chunk out of it yet. It even has some bounce to it when you toss it. And she finds it fun. Veterinary dentists recommend toys that are soft enough that you can leave a fingernail print in for toys that are less likely to break teeth, unlike bones and antlers. This is that toy! (My other dog broke both of her upper 3 rooted premolars on a Nylabone - healthy roots but the slab fracture exposed the pulp and had to be removed. Healthy roots are more difficult to remove. Dentists say those and antlers are money makers. 😭)

Great toy for big chewers!
Have only had 3 days but my boy has been trying to destroy it and it’s holding up really well! Normally his toys would have been destroyed in 24 hours or less, including Kong and other brands advertised as tough!

Durability is no joke!
Excellent product! Our GSD puppy chewed it for the past 10 months and she is a pretty strong chewer. Only now did she manage to get a couple small pieces off of it, and WoofBite was quick to provide our one-time replacement. Great customer service! Will purchase more of their products and highly recommend!

So far so good
Had this for almost a month and no chunks have been chewed off yet. I have a lab who prefers chewing over pulling or retrieving type toys. She's destroyed everything we've given her --sometimes within minutes. She loves Wubbas but she chews them to bits immediately. Other toys get chunks or small pieces chewed off and we wind up throwing them away. This has lasted well. Full disclosure, we only pull out toys at the end of the day for just a couple of hours, and we are within sight of her the whole time, that's why 4 stars. But so far to our surprise this has held up very well.
