In the short time that he has competed he has had numerous wins, including poker's most prestigious title, a first place win at the World Poker Tour (WPT) Battle of Champions 2003, which was first televised on NBC on Feb 1st. Ron's quick development as a strong competitor has earned him the respect of some of the best poker players in the world.

With the explosion of poker as a televised sport, fans of the game are clamoring for more information about their favorite players. The bookstores are full of poker advice, game strategy and how-to's for every type of poker game.

Poker Aces fills that void by presenting the fascinating stories of today's poker pros, along with an abundance of photographs in one concise book.

In this book they'll have an opportunity to look at the human side of poker and satisfy their curiosity about what exactly lies behind those deadpan poker faces.
