From the New York Times bestselling author of The Accidental
Billionaires and Bringing Down the House--the sources for the film
The Social Network and 21--comes the larger-than-life rags-to-riches
tale of a group of University of Montana frat brothers who turned a
weekly poker game in the basement of a local dive bar into
AbsolutePoker.com, one of the largest online companies in the world.
Based on extensive insider interviews and participation, Straight Flush
tells of the company's initial operations in the exotic jungle paradise
of Costa Rica--where its founders embraced an outrageous lifestyle of
girls, parties, and money--and of the gray area of U.S. and
international law in which they created an industry. Soon, the U.S.
Department of Justice was gunning for them... Should they fold--or
double down and ride their hot hand? Impossible to put down, Straight
Flush is an exclusive, never-before-seen look behind the headlines of
one of the wildest business stories of the past decade.
