I did not lip him in the game. Moss was in that game, too. So was "Jesse," a tall, thin, saturnine looking man that I still see around from time to time. But I never learned his last name. I may post more about this over in EDF, as it relates to another recent post I made about my own degeneracy over there.

I don't think so. I saw this particular Jesse at this year's WSOP, hanging about the players' association booth at the end of the hall towards the hot, smelly tent.

The gentleman you are referring to is Jesse Jones, a throat cancer survivor and a founder of the Poker Player's Association (or something like that). He has been around for a long time and is well respected by most of the long time pros. He's about 6-5 and looks to be under 200 lbs. The throat cancer scars are very apparent and he has to speak very softly.
