Friends who played at Commerce told me a lot of stories about him but I'd
never heard this one about him getting "coked"!
Thanks, Mickey, for a great story & all the others you included.

When oblique references are made, it's fun to try to guess who it is.
Could be a lot of people but probably the most famous is Johnny Chan.
In 1992 when I first got the gambling bug, I was railbirding the WSOPME.
Chan was one of those I observed. I had read a lot about him. He was very
impressive in his presence and demeanor. You could tell the other players
feared him. He's still one of my favorites today. But he had a reputation for
throwing temper tantrums in the cash games. I even seen him take a big
McDonald's coke on the head one night at a later WSOPME.
