    About this ebook

    In a casino in Oregon, Poker Boy beats a man fair-and-square at the poker table while a stranger watches, a stranger who knows too much about Poker Boy and his job. It turns out that much of Poker Boy’s future rested on that one hand of cards.

    A classic Poker Boy story with true heart.
