Archie ran $50 into more than $40,000,000 shooting pool, playing heads up poker against the likes of Stu Ungar, Chip Reese, and Johnny Chan among many others in 1993/94 time period, mostly playing $8,000 and $16,000 limit, and $10,000 and $20,000! After accumulating a fortune of $17,000,000 no one would play him heads up poker much at those high limits, and he started shooting dice, where he amazed the world running his great run up to $40,000,000!
As told on the E! True Hollywood story this week on TV, he lost it all back by 1995, mostly in dice and baccarat.....not poker.
He has now made three Razz tables at the WSOP, as he has been most famous for big time cash games, playing the highest limits in the world back then!
He is here to begin his comeback at the 2008 WSOP, and says If he wins today 1st place for $157,000...............he'll be 157,000 steps closer to get his $40,000,000 back!
