Straight FlushAuthor(s): Ben Mezrich\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: Cornerstone, United Kingdom\nImprint: Arrow Books Ltd\nISBN-13: 9780099559146, 978-0099559146\nSynopsis\nStraight Flush is the true story of a group of University of Montana frat brothers who turned a weekly poker game in the basement of a local bar into one of the largest online poker companies in the world.\n\nAt its height, the group's online empire was bringing in revenues of over a million dollars a day. The industry they launched grew so huge so fast, and in such a grey area of US and international law, at first it was never really clear whether their actions were legal or criminal. \n\nFrom setting up their operations in Costa Rica, to their efforts at building a veil of legitimacy in Vancouver; from embracing a hedonistic lifestyle of girls, drugs and money to becoming some of the richest people in the world; from engaging in operations against their competitors that sometimes escalated into near all-out wars.
