The History special about the MIT students that take vegas for millions and millions and millions of dollars is out now on DVD, so if you missed it on the history channel like I did now you can peep it.

I saw it on the History Channel not long ago.....Isn't "Mr. M" Robert Varkony's poker coach?? The shading of Mr M's face wasn't done too well. In the WSOP 2003 you see him sitting with Varkony(??), and in the end of the History Channel program, he mentions that he had turned his attention to poker.

Nice to see Foxwoods on TV for sure. Makes sense, it's the closest major casino to Boston.

Yup you are correct sir!
I finally saw the dvd of braking vegas and they have a couple extras on the dvd. They had a special on high rollers and told the story of gambling when it started from the very begining.
Also had some extra show called conquest, and it had these 3 guys that never played any blackjack,poker,craps, etc. and showed them how to play them all and gave them all the same amount of money to see who would win.
When they got to the blackjack part, they brought out Phil Hellmuth to teach the blackjack part. Yeh it's weird, him teachin blackjack I know

Vegas is starting to record your ear size (when done correctly through cameras, its better than fingerprints) and heat signature (same deal, each person has a unique one) as well as an individuals walking style. Changing your face does crap.
