If you spend anytime on the poker circuit you're bound to have an Eric Crain story. Crain always has a smile, is quick-witted and loves to give action. A few minutes before we started our Orbit with him a player at the table stopped to tell us that Crain doubled him up. Crain quickly replied, "Welcome to the biggest club in poker."
