Extraordinary Poker Players:
Extraordinary Poker Players: Andre the Giant Plays Poker. Andre is not tall, nor large in girth, but when he plays poker he’s a “giant.” He sits down at the green felt poker table, looking like other players, except he’s always smiling, telling jokes, always kind and friendly. Magically as Andre’s piles of chips grow, he grows. By the end of most poker sessions he’s become a “giant.” When he first sits down in the game, everyone is glad to see him. When he leaves the poker table, everyone is glad to see the “giant” leave, and with him most of the chips.
