    "abstract": "We present a simple model of Texas hold\u0027em poker tournaments which retains\nthe two main aspects of the game: i. the minimal bet grows exponentially with\ntime; ii. players have a finite probability to bet all their money. The\ndistribution of the fortunes of players not yet eliminated is found to be\nindependent of time during most of the tournament, and reproduces accurately\ndata obtained from Internet tournaments and world championship events. This\nmodel also makes the connection between poker and the persistence problem\nwidely studied in physics, as well as some recent physical models of biological\nevolution, and extreme value statistics.",
