Hi Everyone:
Sometimes when I see stuff like this I just have to wonder. As far as I know, even though Crandall Addington finished second to Bobby Baldwin in the 1978 WSOP, he wasn't seen in poker rooms for well over 25 years and I have never seen him in person. He did resurface in Doyle Brunson's Super System 2 as the writer of the history of no-limit chapter. But I can't see how he's one of "poker's leading lights."
However, living in Boston is Bill Robertie, the co-author of the Harrington on Hold 'em series and the co-author on the soon to be released Harrington on Cash Games series who's also a Harvard graduate. I guess Professor Nesson wasn't aware of this.
Best wishes,
Mason
