Unless you were around before the poker boom, you're probably not familiar with Stanley Schrier. An elder statesman of the game, Schrier was a part of what many consider to be the greatest final table in World Series of Poker Main Event history, one that included Phil Hellmuth, Mike Matusow, and Carlos Mortensen, just to name a few.
The year was 2001, and 613 of the best players in the world packed Binion's Horseshoe in downtown Las Vegas. A few years prior, Schrier, who was in his late 60s, sold his car businesses in Omaha and relocated to Vegas to play poker, but that year marked the first time he'd ever played in the WSOP.
