If its even possible, poker has upped the stakes in coolness this month as Rolling Stone features an article on the wunderkind 'crew' that stormed the poker world in 2004.

Run by ex-online poker guru and unstable even in his own words, Russel 'Dutch' Boyd, hastily put together his 'poker crew' when he came 12th in the World Series of Poker in 2003.
