    I was in the same elevator with Jack during a dinner break over the summer. The whole time he was asking his son, "why are we going to the room? I'm Hungry!"

    Played with Jack for years at Aztar. Dude was the nuts. He would play a 14 hour session no problem. Fall asleep at the table. Funniest thing ever was seeing him check, someone would bet and Jack would have falling asleep, it would come around to him, we would wake him up and he would raise, without looking back at his cards. RIP Jack, I'll eat a chicken salad sandwich for you tonight brother.
