Default ESPN special on Stu Ungar Saturday

From 7-8pm ET tomorrow, ESPN's doing a one hour special on Stu Ungar, titled "One of a Kind". It's based on the book of course, and has some of the interviews that were done for the Sportscenter piece done a couple of years ago, as well as some new stuff. Also included is audio of Nolan Dalla interviewing Stu shortly before his death. More info can be found here.

I liked the show, learned alot about his life (I have briefly looked at the book about him)

However in typical ESPN gay-ass fashion, they tried to make it as much of a tear jerker, sob story as possible.

I would have liked to see more info and more interview and less piano'ed, clouded pans of scenery.

Anyone know what Eric Drache does now? He was such a central character in several poker books I've read during the 70's and 80's, but this is the first time I've ever seen him on TV.
