one of the good stories revolves around how you actually get the money to the casinos . because it is illegal under US law to fly with more than 10k on you (i believe that this is part of the war on drugs, or something asinine like that), the players had to come up with a creative way to get the money to vegas. so what tey often did was strap 50k to their chest with tape, and then bundle up to disguise their extra bulk. he said that going through customs with that money so conspicuously taped there was nerve wracking, just because the consequences from the us govt are reasonably severe.

his other stories revolve around getting backroomed, particularly when they were think out of the country. they are fairly similar to what is talked about in bringing the down the house, so i wont repeat them here, but the idea of being in some quasi-regulated costa rican casino and getting nailed by the griffin guys, who flew there specifically in pursuit of you is pretty serious.
