""Machine Gun" Lou Butera strolled into the tournament arena"

Lou is a friend of mine & lives here in Las Vegas. He was at one time half owner of Pool Sharks here with another friend of mine, Joe Cannella.

Back in the mid 90's there was a pool tournament in Reno at the Sands. A bunch of us, Lou included, wanted to play poker. We asked where the poker room was & a security guard directed us to a door & said to walk through it & across the lot to the room. This was in December & when we opened the door it was snowing. We had to walk across the lot in the snow to the room. We played for about 8 hours until the game broke up & had trouble getting the door open to leave as it had been snowing all that time & started to block the door. Very strange!
