 Straus had thought he was eliminated from the tournament, but when he got up, he discovered he had one chip left under a napkin on the table.Because he did not declare himself all-in, the tournament directors allowed him to continue playing.Modern lore says that this feat occurred at the final table, but the 2005 book "All In", which documents the history of the WSOP, confirms that it occurred early in the second day, and did leave him with a $500 chip before his comeback.
