Jack Straus
Jack "Treetop" Straus (June 16, 1930 - August 17, 1988) was an American professional poker player. He is best known for winning the 1982 World Series of Poker Main Event.
He is also known for winning that event after being down to one chip earlier in the tournament, which gave meaning to the poker phrase "a chip and a chair".〔(CBS News: All You Need is a Chip and a Chair )〕 In addition, Straus is known for successfully pulling off one of the best bluffs in the history of poker.
==Poker career==
Straus began playing in World Series of Poker events in the early 1970s. He finished in fourth place in the 1972 Main Event. He won his first bracelet in 1973 in the $3,000 Deuce to Seven Draw event and also finished in third place in the Main Event that year.
He won the 1982 World Series of Poker main event, earning $520,000 and a second WSOP bracelet. His appearances at the final table of the main event in 1972, 1973, and 1982 put him in a small elite group players to have made the final table three or more times. Other players to have done this include Main Event champions like Johnny Moss, Doyle Brunson, Stu Ungar, Johnny Chan, and Dan Harrington.
