The third of five dramatic journeys in people's lives with Desmond Wilcox.

Terry Rogers is a middle-aged, overweight Dublin bookmaker. But, inside, he knows himself to be a leaner, harder man, a hero of the Wild West in the mould of John Wayne or Gary Cooper. And, like his heroes, Terry wanted to walk into town and take on the biggest and the best in the world's largest poker game at Las Vegas.

He wound up facing the best - the hardened, professional poker players, meanest of eye and slickest of skill. In the end, it was a game to remember for a lifetime - with more than one million pounds on the table.
