Was watching an old WSOP video, and came across this feature on Archie.

Archie Karas (born Anargyros Karabourniotis[1] in 1950) is a Greek-American gambler, poker player, and pool shark famous for the largest and longest documented winning streak in gambling history simply known as The Run when he turned $50 in December 1992 into over $40 million by the beginning of 1995, only to lose it all later that year. He is considered by many to have been the greatest gambler of all time and has often been compared to Nick the Greek, another high stakes gambler.[2][3] Karas himself claims to have gambled with more money than anyone else in history

I also found it on YouTube for those who want to see the feature by WSOP:

(You need to go about 1:30 into it to get to the feature)

There ya go

A true gambler can never bet enough money to satisfy themselves... Until it is all gone..... Watch the people in casinos, they start foaming at the mouth when they start winning , and now you don't have to change machines to bet more just push a button and your an instant 5 dollar plus player destined to lose it all..... LOL
