His legs felt sluggish. And he was only able to hold on to seventh...
...reign of Felix P. Johnson ’03 as the self-proclaimed “king of blackjack” was short-lived. Johnson was up $1,100 at a table in the Montreal Casino over intersession when he exclaimed, “I’ve got this game figured out. I just can’t lose money at this table.” His hubris seems to have brought the wrath of the gambling gods upon him; after three more hands, Johnson ended up down $2,800. Having lost all his cash and maxed...
