Summary
"Like many players, Johnny Kampis drifted away from poker after Congress passed the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act in 2006. But even as Johnny returned to the working world, married, and had kids, the itch to play remained. A decade later, the Kampis family embarks on a six-week trip to Sin City, where Johnny will risk a $10,000 bankroll in hopes of winning millions in the Main Event." --
