| I looked everywhere to find the famous "chip and a chair" quote and I can't find it. I just want to clarify who it was, though I think it was Johnny Moss. Could someone let me know and what event this was at. Thanks | ||

| Who was the first to utter those words...I don't know. I do know that it is commonly associated and/or attributed to the late Jack "Treetop" Strauss. PA Here is a snip from one of Andy Glazer's articles. "When Jack Strauss won the World Series of Poker's No-Limit Hold 'em Championship in 1982, he created a rallying cry for all tournament poker players: "All you need is a chip and a chair." That's because Strauss had at one time been down to a single chip, and managed to fight all the way back and win the tournament. In parlaying one chip all the way to poker's Holy Grail, Strauss forever defined the qualities of not giving up, fighting tooth and nail, and fiercely holding onto of every bit of equity you have left." | ||
