The Professor, the Banker, and the Suicide King

[phydaux]

Even though it was Howard Leaderer's nickname that made the title of the book, I though Jen Harmon can across as more of the "hero" of the book.

She basically offered to check herself out of the hospital and play Beal head's up for millions while hooked to a dialysis machine, and Beal was afraid that if she did that she'd still beat him.

Jen is my poker hero.

This thread is now about "Suicide King" rumors.

What about Todd Brunson? I think he was another hero in that book by dominating Beal.

At the time I read it, I never really quite knew Todd but since reading it and seeing him play on TV (i.e. High Stakes Poker), I give him full props as a world class player.
