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.

@FlushitTV Not to mention the numerous other times he has gone on multi-million dollar winning streaks. This guy has supported himself and his family through gambling for his entire life!

Archie isn't a materialist. He's a humble man with strong family ties and a GAMBLER in the purest sense of the term. When you're a genuine gambler (ie not in it for permanent wealth and not afraid of going broke) then winning and losing are truly both sides of the same coin. Moreover, Archie did not LOSE 40 DOLLARS! Imagine how much money he spent and gave away over the two and a half years when he destroyed all the legends of poker heads-up and almost bankrupted Binion's Horseshoe Casino!!!

Nick the Greek did it 78 times in his life. That is not luck. There is something there.

Nope read about him. He is single....... and proves a point that he does not
value money and doesn't fear it. Google Archie. He values love, freedom, friends,
health, etc. The ones who feel sorry for him are missing the whole point.

It is not his weakness. He does NOT value money. Read about him.
It's all a game to him. It proves a point.

A very sad man without responsibility. Fortunately, he is not married. Thus, his family members do not suffer with him. If he is good, he should win the money back. He is just another has-been? Personally, I am feeling sorry for him.

what a great guy.. phill hellmuth would have bitched and whined about someone calling with 5 2, but this guy just congratulates him on his good play after the flop.

Through his 20s and 30s he had won a million + and lost it 50 !!! different times !!! even after losing his 40 mil he has gone on smaller rushes...winning 4 mil in a couple days and losing it the next day, another time he went with 1800 lost 1600 and ran the last 200 up to 980k... its crazy to me because his weakness is also what makes him one of the best..
