Doyle Brunson Remembers Stu Ungar: The Legendary Poker Player
Poker legend Doyle Brunson has shared his memories of Stu Ungar, a three-time WSOP Main Event champion, highlighting his unique personality and tragic life events.
Stu Ungar is the only player to win the WSOP Main Event three times. His biography, titled One of a Kind, captures his extraordinary life and career. Ungar's son, Ritchie, committed suicide in 1986, a tragic event that deeply affected him. Despite his personal struggles, Ungar returned to poker in 1997 and won the WSOP Main Event, showcasing his remarkable skills and resilience.
Ungar's life was marked by both incredible highs and devastating lows. His nose was damaged by cocaine use, and he struggled with addiction throughout his life. Despite these challenges, Ungar's talent and charisma made him a beloved figure in the poker community. His unique playing style and fearless approach to the game earned him a reputation as one of the greatest tournament players of all time.

Argus RivenI've spent years at the tables — cash and tournaments — and just as long shaping poker copy behind the scenes: room reviews, bonus fine print, tournament notes. At PokerInsider I write the way I wish more sites would: clear structure, honest trade-offs, no hype. Whether you're new or already grinding, I care about what the offer actually costs you — rake, variance, and the fine print — and I treat responsible play as part of the job, not a footnote.
