A Long Drought

There are plenty of dubious records to hold in sports like baseball: lowest career batting average, minimum 2,500 at bats (Bill Bergen, .170); most errors in a season (John Gochnauer, 98); and longest losing streak (Philadelphia Phillies, 23 in a row). We may have discovered the poker equivalent.

David Sklansky claims to hold the record for longest time between bracelets. He can't think of a single player who won a bracelet before Sklansky's last bracelet in 1983, who is still playing and hasn't won a bracelet since. That's 25 years since Sklansky's last bracelet.

"A very interesting record," said Sklansky. Do you see why?
