He didn't have Bert Gordon covering his losses, it was $3000 a game and Eddie wiped the floor with him.
Does Fats carry $100,000 around in his wallet?
I wish the second match had gone on longer.

It wasn't after the sixth game, it was much later because they were playing until 6am before Fats quit.
I think you're thinking of their first game where Fats was $18000 down at one point.

The last figure mentioned is $3000 a game.

I believe it was $1,000 a game (raised from $200), although the amount could have changed as the marathon match continued. I also believe that Eddie's high point was being up $18,000.
