A few always did.
Puggy Pearson used to show up at the $10,000 event in a different costume every year.
Two stand out in my memory.
A Saudi Shiek and an indian in buckskins and full headdress.
Puggy was a beauty.
I barred him at the Four Queens Classic in 1993.
On the first Card Player cruise, he got barred from the poker room on day 2.
I saw what happened and Puggy did not do it. The Floorman lied. When I told poker mgr Bee Estes, he said doesn't matter, Pug would have got barred before the cruise was over, anyway.
I meet Puggy in a lounge and he said: " Geez In the middle of the ocean and barred from the poker room!"
Most of what you are asking about happened after Moneymakers win.
Has he ever won a tourney since then? Or even one hand?
