Event 17: Wolper Multi-Faceted

Level 2:  Binds 50/100.

The legendary Howard Wolper is not only a poker player playing in this event, but also an artist and writer.

Howard Wolper
 
Before Howard won three Borgata Open titles, he "created conceptual and performance artwork in the 70s and 80s. A spinning self portrait game, a random element dispenser, a popular NY art rock group Suicide (with Alan Vega) and the Howie’s (clones playing household appliances) to mention a few. Disillusioned with the NY art scene in the mid 90s, he became a poker pro and later a poker champion."

He's written a book which is available online and now has plans to make his book into a movie.  You can read more about Howard and sample his book on his web site at howardevanwolper.com.
