Forget Doyle, We Got Silvio Formica

In a recent hand, Silvio Formica was showing off for the ESPN cameras that circled the table. As the cameras rolled, Formica's opponent was contemplating calling Formica's all-in with pocket jacks. Formica laughed when he even thought about it and went on to say, "When I put my money in, don't call unless you have aces."

After a friend stopped by to greet Formica and ask him if he was causing trouble, a player told Formica that the cameras were off and he could stop. Formica responded, "I'm more famous than Doyle Brunson in this town! I've busted Johnny Chan 20,000 times."
