The Begging Bowl

Once upon a time, I would get to the final table loaded up with chips, only to find myself besieged on all sides by players asking for a slice of the prize money. In those days (regardless of entry numbers), there were only three -- yes, three -- prizes, and 70 percent went to the winner....
