Hal Lubarsky : ウィキペディア英語版 | Hal Lubarsky
Hal Lubarsky became the first blind poker player to ever cash in a World Series of Poker Event. Hal Lubarsky was 29 when he moved to Las Vegas with the dream of becoming a professional poker player. For over 15 years he routinely competed in the $150-300 H.O.R.S.E. games, where he played with many of the biggest names in poker. His poker playing days, however, came to an end in 2004 when he lost his vision to a hereditary dystrophy known as retinitis pigmentosa.〔 ==The return to poker==
After losing his vision, Hal became very depressed. His brother, an employee at the Mirage Casino mentioned this to Donna Harris, the Mirage Casino's Poker Manager. A few weeks later Donna called Hal to inform him that an old friend and Mirage Poker Room Shift Manager, Dennis Jackson was dying of cancer. She told him that the Mirage was going to have a charity tournament to raise money for Dennis and wanted to know if Hal would play. At first Hal declined, but Donna insisted stating that he could have a "reader" tell him what the cards were.〔 After the tournament, Donna told Hal that not only was he always welcome at the Mirage, but that they would make him "as comfortable as possible."〔
