He is a professor in the Master of Fine Arts program for writers at the Art Institute of Chicago. ==Poker and ''Positively Fifth Street''== McManus is best known as the author of the book ''Positively Fifth Street: Murderers, Cheetahs, and Binion's World Series of Poker'' (ISBN 0-374-23648-8). The book is dedicated to his son, James McManus (1979–2001). The book is based on his trip to Las Vegas to cover the progress of women in the 2000 World Series of Poker (WSOP) and the death of Ted Binion. He used his advance to enter a satellite tournament for entry into the main event, defeating the likes of Hasan Habib to qualify for the seat. He made the final table of the Main Event, finishing in 5th place and winning $247,760. He credited his success in the tournament to the book ''Championship No-Limit & Pot-Limit Hold'em'' (ISBN 1-58042-127-X) by T. J. Cloutier and Tom McEvoy. Cloutier, Habib and Chris Ferguson were also at the same final table. McManus made the quarter-finals of the 2006 National Heads-Up Poker Championship, where he was eliminated by Ferguson. McManus continues to play live poker when not teaching and raising two young daughters with his second wife, Jennifer Arra. As of 2012, his total live tournament winnings exceed $760,000. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「James McManus」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
