Gabe Kaplan and A.J. Benza, commenting on "High Stakes Poker," Season 1, Episode 11, after Barry Greenstein jokingly comments that there are now three kinds of poker players--Texans, Jews, and foreigners:
Kaplan: In 1980 I made a bet with Doyle [Brunson]. He took all the Texans in the tournament [WSOP main event]--there were only about 70 players--and I took all the Jewish players. It came down to two Jewish players and two Texans, and Stu Ungar won.
Benza: Was Stu from Texas?
Kaplan: Yeah, the lower east side of Texas.
[Note: The last four players were Ungar, Brunson, Johnny Moss, and Jay Heimowitz.]
