Book Synopsis

Inspired by true events...

Slowrolled - A story of high stakes, heartfelt emotions, and homegrown heroes.

In the dazzling lights of Las Vegas in 2019, Dave 'MAC" McArthur finds himself at the imposing tables of the World Series of Poker, the Everest of Texas Hold'em. As he shuffles between gripping flashbacks of his Army Infantry and Air Force days, the third installment in the series after Wounded Bird and MAC II Bravo, MAC delivers a heart-pounding yet heartwarming narrative. With over 8,000 players vying for a $10 million payday, MAC faces off against poker's legends and amateurs alike, all while life deals him hands no one could expect.

Amid the riffling of chips and whispered bets, MAC's unwavering friends and family provide a touching counterpoint to his poker-faced determination. They rally around him through crushing losses and euphoric wins, proving that in poker, as in life, the line between triumph and disaster is often paper-thin. Slowrolled will have you smiling through tears and cheering for a hero who knows that the real jackpot isn't always the one you can cash in.

"MAC is a fantastic storyteller! Slowrolled might be the best poker story (or movie) since Rounders. Shake and bake brother!"
