The one-hour documentary deals with the many ups and downs of poker pro’s life, and includes many interviews with people that knew him best. Born with a supposed genius IQ, Stu Ungar became a gin rummy child prodigy and soon began to play for real money, often for very high stakes. Later on he became interested in poker and became one of the best Texas Hold’Em players of his generation. However, the dark side of Unger was undoubtedly his addiction for many years to hard drugs which eventually contributed to his death. The documentary features interviews with Ungar’s ex-wife, Madeline and daughter, Stefanie, as well as poker greats Doyle Brunson, Mike Sexton, Billy Baxter, Nolan Dalla and others. While this is not the first time ESPN has showcased Unger, this documentary contains previously unseen footage, including audio interviews between Ungar and Dalla which were supposed to be used for Unger’s autobiography. Earlier this year, Madeline and Stefanie Unger established the ‘Stu Ungar Foundation’ aimed at helping people get over drug addiction and to get their lives back on track.
