I played poker with him a few times at the WSOP when it was still at the Horseshoe. Always a fun game, win or lose, when he was in it.

Everything was sold out downtown. So he runs into an old poker playing buddy he hadn't seen in several years. He tells the guy of his plight. The guy says "No problem, Nolan. I got a room at the Fremont with double beds. You can stay with me. Just take your bags over and leave them at the bell desk. Whatever time we get through playing poker tonight, I'll take you over and get you a key made."

They were in different games and his buddy came over and said "Hey, Nolan, I just got stacked off, can I hold $1500 until we get back to the room tonight. Nolan dutifully handed over the money. Later that night Nolan finally got tired of playing and went looking for his buddy. The guy was no where to be found. Nolan went over to the Fremont and asked them to call his room....nobody by that name staying there. Nolan never saw the guy again.
