Bob Stupak (April 6, 1942 - September 25, 2009)
Vegas legend,
one-time Lt. Governor candidate, and WSOP bracelet winner
Bob Stupak has passed away at 67 years old.
Stupak is best known for transforming the Las Vegas Strip and skyline with the development of his casino, The Stratosphere.
He passed away after battling leukemia and other medical conditions.
Stupak won a WSOP bracelet in 1989 in 2-7 Lowball and was involved in the GSN High Stakes Poker series.
We maybe might’ve perhaps had some fun cracking jokes at Stupak’s expense over the years, but the guy was a Vegas and poker legend. RIP.

Ok, we’ve been meaning to comment on this for a week. Because it’s fucking creepy.
If you read Card Player as religiously as we do, you’ve seen this ad for Bob Stupak. It’s almost as ubiquitous as the Full Tilt Poker banners. Almost. Actually, the only thing more ubiquitous than Full Tilt Poker banner ads these days is God. Or is that omnipresent? Whatever. Point is, like Savoir Faire, they’re everywhere.
So Bob Stupak, the “colorful” professional poker player, lifetime gambler, former casino owner and WSOP bracelet winner, wants to be Lt. Governor of Nevada. Never mind he has no platform to speak of, or at least one we can find or define. That’s never stopped the Democrats before, has it?
We’d comment more on this, but if we have to look at that banner for another minute, bad things will happen. At least he seems to love America, which is more than we can say about some people.
