Archie Karros guy that lost 35 million dollars?

[JoeDimaggio]

I was reading Todd Brunson's Cardplayer column and he was talking about Archie Karros. I remember hearing about how that guy went on a once in a lifetime hot streak and won everything he could touch before giving it all back. That was about 10 years ago or so I believe. Can somebody refresh this story for me?

Wow didn't know he was dead. When did that happen?

Things that happen after you lose $35,000,000:
- suicide
- murdered by guy you owed $35,000,000 to
- murdered by wife after you lost everything
- deadly heart attack after you realize what you just done

good read

And I don't think he's dead, although it wouldn't suprise me. He has WSOP cashes in 2005.
