I love Kojak. Did you know he finished on 21st place at 1992 WSOP ME.
He was great actor and fantastic guy, I miss him.

Cool. But were there more than 25 players?

I had to google this to figure out what it meant. He actually lost money, finishing 21st.
Of 201 entries, 25 were paid, but 20-25 only got $8080 each. Greenstein and Sexton were also loosing winners that year. Strange stuff.

Who loves ya baby? He had his own bar in Universal City (LA). Saw him there a few times. Seemed like an okay guy...

Sorry for the thread jack, totally unrelated and random thought.. but when I hear Telly, I can't help but hear the high pitched voice from Monty Python..."Theres a penguin on the telly!"
