American Tuan Phan led from the front to outlast 617 other players and leave the Harrah’s Atlantic City $1,600 buy-in main event of the World Series of Poker Circuit (WSOPC) with the title, $188,830 in prize money and a WSOP National Championship seat in May.
It took three days for the dominating and determined Virginian – who sent an incredible eight of the other nine final table players to the rail – to emerge victorious from an event that showed a massive 76% increase on last year’s 352-player field to become the second biggest main tournament staged by the WSOPC with a prize pool of $899,190.
Once Canadian Marc Andre Roy had become Day 2 chip leader Phan’s seventh victim at the final table, we were left with just Hao Le to take on his all-conquering fellow Virginian.
The duo stayed neck-and-neck for the majority of their match-up, but the last hand did arrive after about 45 minutes’ play.
On the button, Phan limped in, only for Le to raise to 200,000. Phan made the call to see a flop of 3♠ 2♠ J♥. Le then led out again with a bet of 200,000, but Phan minimum raised to take that to 400,000.
Le took his time to gather is thoughts, but then re-raised to one million. Phan called before the turn provided the players with the 3♦. Le placed 900,000 into the massive pot, and Phan went all-in to be snap-called by Le.
Phan showed K♥ 3♣ for trip threes, much to the dismay of Le, who revealed pocket aces. Le required an ace to stay in the tournament, but the was the 8♦ – and Phan, who was dominant throughout, was crowned champion.
Just 20 players remained for Day 3, but that was cut down to 10 survivors within the opening two levels of play.
Pennsylvania’s Manh Nguyen entered the final table as chip leader on 3,200,000, way out in front of second placed Le, who held 1,700,000, while eventual winner Phan was only on 947,000 in seventh place.
But it was Danny Rohde – who had started the final table in fourth place – that exited first for $14,099.
The American, as well as three others, saw a 6♣ J♣ 9♦ flop. The blinds checked before Phan made a 300,000 bet, only for Rohde, with A♥ J♥, to go all-in, resulting in the blinds folding.
Phan, however, quickly called to table Q♣ 10♣ to leave Rohde in front, although Phan made a flush on the A♣ turn and that was it for Rohde.
Phan continued his rise by next eliminating New Jersey’s Mike Devinsky in ninth for $17,516.
The champion, in early position, opened before big blind Devinsky three-bet all-in when holding pocket jacks. Phan immediately called to reveal the dominating pocket queens.
The flop included a queen to give Phan trips to move him further ahead in the pot, with Devinsky’s hand unable to improve.
The third player to suffer the wrath of Phan was Denis Gnidash just 10 minutes later as the New Jersey player, holding A♥ K♠, went all-in pre-flop.
However, he faced the pocket sevens of Phan, with the 2♥ 8♠ 8♣ 7♦ Q♠ board giving the latter a full house for a hat-trick of eliminations at the final table.
A third New Jersey pro hit the rail not long after when Kevin Kaikko was knocked out by Nguyen for seven place and $28,127.
The action had folded to small blind Nguyen before he raised. Big blind Kaikko went all-in, and Nguyen called.
Kaikko showed A♠ K♠ to be way ahead of Nguyen’s A♥ J♣, but the flop revealed 7♥ J♦ 7♠ to give the latter the lead. The turn provided the A♣, which changed little, before the 10♣ sealed Kaikko’s fate.
Phan was back just two hands later to eliminate his fourth player, Boston’s Anthony Zinno, in sixth place for $36,372.
Zinno raised it to 300,000 before the flop to leave him with only 100,000, while Phan, in the cut-off seat, re-raised to put his opponent all-in.
Zinno called with pocket sixes, while Phan showed K♠ J♣. He paired the jack and that was Zinno hitting the rail.
Fifth place went to Nguyen, for $47,684, after Phan also eliminated him.
Nguyen opened with a 150,000 bet and small blind Phan called for the duo to see a flop of 5♥ 4♠ A♦. Phan moved all-in and Nguyen instantly called to confidently turn over A♣ Q♦.
Phan showed 2♠ 2♥ to be only just ahead. But, following the 7♠ on the turn, the 2♣ river gave Phan trips to eliminate Nguyen.
Larry Riggs became Phan’s sixth victim not too long after when the ultra-tight North Carolina native exited in fourth for $63,375.
Big blind Riggs went all-in after Phan, on the button, had bet 150,000. Phan made the call to reveal pocket jacks and was faced by the pocket fives of Riggs.
Despite his sincere pleading to the dealer, Riggs could not find a third five as the board showed 8♥ 8♣ 6♦ 4♥ Q♦.
Incredibly, Phan secured a seventh elimination just a few hands later when sending Canada’s Roy to the rail in third place for $85,405.
The Montreal native called the 150,000 opening bet from Phan, who was on the button, to see a flop of K♦ 2♣ Q♠.
Roy then check-called another 150,000 bet from Phan, before both checked the 2d on the turn. The 5♣ arrived on the river and Roy again checked, while Phan threw 300,000 into the ever-growing pot.
Roy immediately moved all-in and Phan called to show a full house for his hole cards of K♥ 2♠, which beat an upset Roy’s two pair from his K♠ 5♥.
That left us with Le and Phan to battle it out for the top prize – and the latter was to prevail from a thrilling final table.
New York State’s Peter Ippolito managed to cash twice at this latest leg of the WSOPC, but couldn’t add a second victory to his success at the $555 buy-in No-Limit Hold’em event for $37,926.
However, Ippolito did leave with an additional $4,388 for securing 33rd place in the main event. Poker rooms in sarasota florida.
Other notable money finishers included Steven Tabb for $5,755 in 26th place, Jeffrey Papola (38th for $3,507), Ashira Lavine (50th for $3,192), Mark Rose (54th for $3,192) and Sirous Jamshidi (57th for $2,940).
However, more than few big-name pros didn’t even cash, including Matthew Chang, Josh Brikis, Carter Phillips, Drazen Ilich, Chris Tryba, Mike ‘Little Man’ Sica, and Mark ‘Pegasus’ Smith.

When high school guidance counselors discuss possible career paths, ’gangster’ doesn’t usually come up. Getting a job in the underworld, or Mafia, or whatever you want to call it, is always a dangerous prospect. A lot of times, it can be a job for life; as in, you could totally lose your life because of your job. Not many famous gangsters died in their sleep of old age. Usually they go out violently, killed by their enemies, the government, or even their own men.
Then there are the gangsters whose ends are less clear, because they just straight-up disappeared. Usually, it’s probably because they too were killed horribly, but no one can be completely sure, since their bodies have never been found. Maybe some of these guys managed to get out of the mob, create a new life, and live happily on a farm somewhere surrounded by grandchildren. Nah, it was probably the violent murder thing.Chicago wouldn’t give up on Tommy O’Connor
While Chicago gangster Thomas O’Connor picked up the sobriquet ’Terrible Tommy’ somewhere along the way, in 1962, The Lakeland Ledger sniffed that he ’wouldn’t rate a line alongside the Dillingers and Capones and Baby Face Nelsons.’ That gives you an idea of his level of gangster cred. However, his vanishing act managed to impress.
In 1921, O’Connor was on death row in the Cook County jail, sentenced to hang for killing a police officer. Four days before the scheduled execution, he escaped by getting ahold of a pistol and threatening a guard. He stole a car (the fourth one he commandeered, after abandoning the first three for some reason) and was never seen again. According to The Washington Post, there were plenty of theories about what happened to O’Connor, including he ’returned to his native Ireland to fight the British, fled to Mexico or became a Trappist monk.’ But there’s a grave in Illinois reputed to be his, that claims he died in 1951.
O’Connor’s disappearance was a problem for Chicago. Cook County ’discontinued hanging’ and moved on to the electric chair in 1927. But Terrible Tommy’s sentence specified he was to be hanged. That meant if he ever turned back up, they couldn’t legally kill him any other way. So, just in case, the gallows gathered dust in a basement until 1977, when the county finally gave up on killing O’Connor, who would have been 96, and sold it.Anthony Zizzo vanished before eating his last meal
His 5’3 height earned mobster Anthony Zizzo the nickname ’Little Tony,’ although he managed to pack 200 pounds on that small frame, according to ABC 7. He was a member of the Chicago Outfit, the Italian-American mafia in that city. In 2006, a major mob trial was about to begin, but Zizzo ’conspicuously wasn’t charged.’ There’s a theory this may have made him look like a snitch. He was also in the middle of an intense beef with the powerful gangster Michael Sarno over a video poker machine business. So it wasn’t that surprising when he suddenly vanished.
On August 31, Zizzo left his house, telling his wife he had a business meeting. He stopped for gas and went to a restaurant, where he was seen by numerous employees, but ’never made it into the restaurant.’ His car was later found in the parking lot, but Zizzo was gone. There were no signs of foul play. His wife filed a missing person’s report, and the FBI eventually offered $10,000 for information.
Many people think he was murdered, either by his own crew for the rumors he’d snitched to the government, or by his nemesis Sarno. One mob expert says he was probably killed and his body ’disposed of in a manner that would make it nearly impossible to locate.’ However, Sarno, who is in prison on unrelated charges, as of this writing, swears he had nothing to do with Zizzo’s disappearance. And the FBI thinks it’s possible Zizzo went on the run to avoid possible prosecution.James Squillante magically vanished like garbage on curb
Certain occupations have reputations for being mobbed-up. If the Mafia can get gain a monopoly on something, they acquire more control and lots of money, which is kind of their raison d’être. In mid-20th century New York City, garbage collecting was one of the Cosa Nostra’s main rackets. In 1957, a Senate committee revealed a 5’1 fruit-peddler-turned-gangster named Vincent James Squillante was ’the absolute czar of the private sanitation industry in Greater New York,’ according to Gotham Unbound: How New York City Was Liberated from the Grip of Organized Crime. But Squillante wasn’t just the business side of things. That same year he was alleged to have ordered his goons to kill a guy and cut him up into tiny pieces, as reported by a later Senate committee.
Being investigated by the Senate is never a good sign. It means the law is on to you. In 1960, Squillante was indicted on extortion charges. On September 23, he was seen driving a new Chevy, then he vanished. He may have been murdered by the mob for ’personal misconduct,’ or so he couldn’t squeal at trial. While no one knows for sure what happened to him, there is a rather disturbing rumor. Thought Catalog says he was shot in the head and his body loaded into the trunk of a car. The automobile was then smooshed in a crusher, and finally ’melted down in an open furnace,’ with Squillante’s body still inside.You did not want to be friends with Anthony Strollo
Mafia guys get nicknames, and Anthony Strollo’s was the fabulous ’Tony Bender.’ He was an important guy, the right-hand man of New York mob boss Vito Genovese for many years, according to The Mafia Encyclopedia. He was well-trusted, even being placed in charge of operations when his boss had to flee to Europe in the 1930s, and he ordered more murders than possibly any other mobster. Being Strollo’s friend didn’t mean much. In once instance, Genovese made sure Strollo wasn’t involved in a hit, since the target was Strollo’s best friend, but Strollo ’cheerfully volunteered’ to help when he found out about the plans. Years later, he tried to kill another friend as well.
Strollo’s loyalty was just as flexible as his friendships. He tended to align himself with whomever had the most power at the time. In 1958, he switched families and set up his old boss Genovese in a drug bust. The mob boss went to jail, where he realized Strollo had betrayed him.
On April 8, 1962, Strollo left his home, telling his wife he would only be gone a few minutes. He was never seen again. There are rumors he’s under the West Side Highway, or that his body was dumped in a cement mixer and became part of a skyscraper. The Complete Idiot’s Guide to the Mafia reports that when asked why Strollo’s vanished, Genovese vaguely alluded to ordering his murder, saying it had been a kindness, since Strollo wouldn’t have been able to handle prison.Danny Walsh’s kidnappers didn’t deliver
An Irish-American guy from small-town Rhode Island doesn’t sound like your stereotypical gangster. But Prohibition had a way of turning even regular people into criminals. According to the New England Historical Society, Danny Walsh was making $5 a day when alcohol was outlawed in America. He decided this rum-running racket would be a better way to get rich, especially since there was little chance of getting in trouble for it in a state that was against Prohibition and never approved the 18th Amendment.
Walsh became one of the biggest bootleggers in the US. He only had one small brush with the law over unpaid taxes, however, his new job required he get close to organized crime bosses, including ’King’ Charles Solomon and associates of Al Capone. This put him in danger, especially as the liquor business became more violent.
In 1933, Walsh had a dinner with friends, later dubbed his ’death supper.’ Then he vanished. Walsh’s brother received a ransom note demanding $40,000. The money was handed over to an anonymous guy in Boston who ’[slipped] his hand through a hotel room door.’ Despite the kidnappers’ promise, Walsh wasn’t returned, dead or alive.
Court TV’s Crime Library reports an inquiry held after Walsh’s disappearance failed to figure out what happened. One rumor was that he’d been buried on his own farm, another said his body was ’stuffed into a barrel of cement,’ and dumped in the ocean. For decades, any suspicious corpse was compared to Walsh’s dental records, but they never matched.Frederick Tenuto wasn’t good enough at killing people
By the time he was 16, Fredrick Tenuto already had a criminal record, according to The Mafia Encyclopedia. But his continuous trips to prison weren’t that big a deal to him, because Tenuto was extremely good at breaking out. A history of Eastern State Penitentiary records shows he managed two escapes, one from there, and one from another prison no one had ever broken out of before.
While he wasn’t an important mobster, Tenuto got the nickname ’Angel of Death’ because he was a go-to guy if you wanted a hit done. He was even added to the FBI’s Most Wanted list in 1950. But his carelessness would be his downfall.
Albert Anastasia was a mafia don and properly insane. His answer to everything was violence and murder. When a man named Arnold Schuster did his civic duty and turned in a bank robber in 1952, American Mafia says Anastasia announced he hated squealers, and ordered Schuster killed. The job fell to Tenuto. The Angel of Death did the deed in the open on a New York Street, and there was at least one witness. When Anastasia heard his triggerman had been seen, he panicked. Tenuto could be connected to him, so he ordered his hit man killed to clean up the messy situation.
Tenuto vanished, almost certainly because he’d been murdered, but his body was never found. Some police informants said he’d been given a ’double-decker funeral,’ (per The Mafia Encyclopedia) which is when a body is placed in a false bottom underneath a different corpse.Abraham Weinberg probably pioneered cement shoes
’Bo’ Weinberg entered the world of organized crime as a young man, and by the time Prohibition rolled around, he was working for major New York bootlegger Dutch Schultz. Weinberg rose to be his right hand man, personally killing many of Schultz’s competitors, and running his empire when Schultz went on the run to avoid tax evasion charges, according to Hollywood Most Wanted.
But the book Dutch Schultz: The Brazen Beer Baron of New York reports the feds were getting close, and this concerned Weinberg. He liked his money and power, and if his boss fell, he risked losing it all. So Weinberg conspired with rival Lucky Luciano, giving the other mob boss tips on how to bring down his current don in exchange for ’a healthy cut of any future action.’ But before Luciano could move in and take over, Schultz found out about Weinberg’s betrayal.
On September 9, 1935, Weinberg left a friend’s house, got in a car, and was never seen again. While one story says Schultz killed his Judas ’with his bare hands,’ it’s the more common tale of his murder that went down in history. After being beaten almost senseless, Weinberg’s feet were encased in cement and he was dumped in the East River while still alive. Vice says that this was where the Mafia stereotypes of ’cement shoes’ and ’sleeping with the fishes’ originates from, and it may very well have happened to Weinberg, even if they never did it again.Rocco Perri vanished after getting a headache

It took three days for the dominating and determined Virginian – who sent an incredible eight of the other nine final table players to the rail – to emerge victorious from an event that showed a massive 76% increase on last year’s 352-player field to become the second biggest main tournament staged by the WSOPC with a prize pool of $899,190.
Once Canadian Marc Andre Roy had become Day 2 chip leader Phan’s seventh victim at the final table, we were left with just Hao Le to take on his all-conquering fellow Virginian.
The duo stayed neck-and-neck for the majority of their match-up, but the last hand did arrive after about 45 minutes’ play.
On the button, Phan limped in, only for Le to raise to 200,000. Phan made the call to see a flop of 3♠ 2♠ J♥. Le then led out again with a bet of 200,000, but Phan minimum raised to take that to 400,000.
Le took his time to gather is thoughts, but then re-raised to one million. Phan called before the turn provided the players with the 3♦. Le placed 900,000 into the massive pot, and Phan went all-in to be snap-called by Le.
Phan showed K♥ 3♣ for trip threes, much to the dismay of Le, who revealed pocket aces. Le required an ace to stay in the tournament, but the was the 8♦ – and Phan, who was dominant throughout, was crowned champion.
Just 20 players remained for Day 3, but that was cut down to 10 survivors within the opening two levels of play.
Pennsylvania’s Manh Nguyen entered the final table as chip leader on 3,200,000, way out in front of second placed Le, who held 1,700,000, while eventual winner Phan was only on 947,000 in seventh place.
But it was Danny Rohde – who had started the final table in fourth place – that exited first for $14,099.
The American, as well as three others, saw a 6♣ J♣ 9♦ flop. The blinds checked before Phan made a 300,000 bet, only for Rohde, with A♥ J♥, to go all-in, resulting in the blinds folding.
Phan, however, quickly called to table Q♣ 10♣ to leave Rohde in front, although Phan made a flush on the A♣ turn and that was it for Rohde.
Phan continued his rise by next eliminating New Jersey’s Mike Devinsky in ninth for $17,516.
The champion, in early position, opened before big blind Devinsky three-bet all-in when holding pocket jacks. Phan immediately called to reveal the dominating pocket queens.
The flop included a queen to give Phan trips to move him further ahead in the pot, with Devinsky’s hand unable to improve.
The third player to suffer the wrath of Phan was Denis Gnidash just 10 minutes later as the New Jersey player, holding A♥ K♠, went all-in pre-flop.
However, he faced the pocket sevens of Phan, with the 2♥ 8♠ 8♣ 7♦ Q♠ board giving the latter a full house for a hat-trick of eliminations at the final table.
A third New Jersey pro hit the rail not long after when Kevin Kaikko was knocked out by Nguyen for seven place and $28,127.
The action had folded to small blind Nguyen before he raised. Big blind Kaikko went all-in, and Nguyen called.
Kaikko showed A♠ K♠ to be way ahead of Nguyen’s A♥ J♣, but the flop revealed 7♥ J♦ 7♠ to give the latter the lead. The turn provided the A♣, which changed little, before the 10♣ sealed Kaikko’s fate.
Phan was back just two hands later to eliminate his fourth player, Boston’s Anthony Zinno, in sixth place for $36,372.
Zinno raised it to 300,000 before the flop to leave him with only 100,000, while Phan, in the cut-off seat, re-raised to put his opponent all-in.
Zinno called with pocket sixes, while Phan showed K♠ J♣. He paired the jack and that was Zinno hitting the rail.
Fifth place went to Nguyen, for $47,684, after Phan also eliminated him.
Nguyen opened with a 150,000 bet and small blind Phan called for the duo to see a flop of 5♥ 4♠ A♦. Phan moved all-in and Nguyen instantly called to confidently turn over A♣ Q♦.
Phan showed 2♠ 2♥ to be only just ahead. But, following the 7♠ on the turn, the 2♣ river gave Phan trips to eliminate Nguyen.
Larry Riggs became Phan’s sixth victim not too long after when the ultra-tight North Carolina native exited in fourth for $63,375.
Big blind Riggs went all-in after Phan, on the button, had bet 150,000. Phan made the call to reveal pocket jacks and was faced by the pocket fives of Riggs.
Despite his sincere pleading to the dealer, Riggs could not find a third five as the board showed 8♥ 8♣ 6♦ 4♥ Q♦.
Incredibly, Phan secured a seventh elimination just a few hands later when sending Canada’s Roy to the rail in third place for $85,405.
The Montreal native called the 150,000 opening bet from Phan, who was on the button, to see a flop of K♦ 2♣ Q♠.
Roy then check-called another 150,000 bet from Phan, before both checked the 2d on the turn. The 5♣ arrived on the river and Roy again checked, while Phan threw 300,000 into the ever-growing pot.
Roy immediately moved all-in and Phan called to show a full house for his hole cards of K♥ 2♠, which beat an upset Roy’s two pair from his K♠ 5♥.
That left us with Le and Phan to battle it out for the top prize – and the latter was to prevail from a thrilling final table.

He stopped for gas and went to a restaurant, where he was seen by numerous employees, but ’never made it into the restaurant.’ His car was later found in the parking lot, but Zizzo was gone. There were no signs of foul play. His wife filed a missing person’s report, and the FBI eventually offered $10,000 for information.
Many people think he was murdered, either by his own crew for the rumors he’d snitched to the government, or by his nemesis Sarno. One mob expert says he was probably killed and his body ’disposed of in a manner that would make it nearly impossible to locate.’ However, Sarno, who is in prison on unrelated charges, as of this writing, swears he had nothing to do with Zizzo’s disappearance. And the FBI thinks it’s possible Zizzo went on the run to avoid possible prosecution.James Squillante magically vanished like garbage on curb
Certain occupations have reputations for being mobbed-up. If the Mafia can get gain a monopoly on something, they acquire more control and lots of money, which is kind of their raison d’être. In mid-20th century New York City, garbage collecting was one of the Cosa Nostra’s main rackets. In 1957, a Senate committee revealed a 5’1 fruit-peddler-turned-gangster named Vincent James Squillante was ’the absolute czar of the private sanitation industry in Greater New York,’ according to Gotham Unbound: How New York City Was Liberated from the Grip of Organized Crime. But Squillante wasn’t just the business side of things. That same year he was alleged to have ordered his goons to kill a guy and cut him up into tiny pieces, as reported by a later Senate committee.
Being investigated by the Senate is never a good sign. It means the law is on to you. In 1960, Squillante was indicted on extortion charges. On September 23, he was seen driving a new Chevy, then he vanished. He may have been murdered by the mob for ’personal misconduct,’ or so he couldn’t squeal at trial. While no one knows for sure what happened to him, there is a rather disturbing rumor. Thought Catalog says he was shot in the head and his body loaded into the trunk of a car. The automobile was then smooshed in a crusher, and finally ’melted down in an open furnace,’ with Squillante’s body still inside.You did not want to be friends with Anthony Strollo
Mafia guys get nicknames, and Anthony Strollo’s was the fabulous ’Tony Bender.’ He was an important guy, the right-hand man of New York mob boss Vito Genovese for many years, according to The Mafia Encyclopedia. He was well-trusted, even being placed in charge of operations when his boss had to flee to Europe in the 1930s, and he ordered more murders than possibly any other mobster. Being Strollo’s friend didn’t mean much. In once instance, Genovese made sure Strollo wasn’t involved in a hit, since the target was Strollo’s best friend, but Strollo ’cheerfully volunteered’ to help when he found out about the plans. Years later, he tried to kill another friend as well.
Strollo’s loyalty was just as flexible as his friendships. He tended to align himself with whomever had the most power at the time. In 1958, he switched families and set up his old boss Genovese in a drug bust. The mob boss went to jail, where he realized Strollo had betrayed him.
On April 8, 1962, Strollo left his home, telling his wife he would only be gone a few minutes. He was never seen again. There are rumors he’s under the West Side Highway, or that his body was dumped in a cement mixer and became part of a skyscraper. The Complete Idiot’s Guide to the Mafia reports that when asked why Strollo’s vanished, Genovese vaguely alluded to ordering his murder, saying it had been a kindness, since Strollo wouldn’t have been able to handle prison.Danny Walsh’s kidnappers didn’t deliver
An Irish-American guy from small-town Rhode Island doesn’t sound like your stereotypical gangster. But Prohibition had a way of turning even regular people into criminals. According to the New England Historical Society, Danny Walsh was making $5 a day when alcohol was outlawed in America. He decided this rum-running racket would be a better way to get rich, especially since there was little chance of getting in trouble for it in a state that was against Prohibition and never approved the 18th Amendment.
Walsh became one of the biggest bootleggers in the US. He only had one small brush with the law over unpaid taxes, however, his new job required he get close to organized crime bosses, including ’King’ Charles Solomon and associates of Al Capone. This put him in danger, especially as the liquor business became more violent.
In 1933, Walsh had a dinner with friends, later dubbed his ’death supper.’ Then he vanished. Walsh’s brother received a ransom note demanding $40,000. The money was handed over to an anonymous guy in Boston who ’[slipped] his hand through a hotel room door.’ Despite the kidnappers’ promise, Walsh wasn’t returned, dead or alive.
Court TV’s Crime Library reports an inquiry held after Walsh’s disappearance failed to figure out what happened. One rumor was that he’d been buried on his own farm, another said his body was ’stuffed into a barrel of cement,’ and dumped in the ocean. For decades, any suspicious corpse was compared to Walsh’s dental records, but they never matched.Frederick Tenuto wasn’t good enough at killing people
By the time he was 16, Fredrick Tenuto already had a criminal record, according to The Mafia Encyclopedia. But his continuous trips to prison weren’t that big a deal to him, because Tenuto was extremely good at breaking out. A history of Eastern State Penitentiary records shows he managed two escapes, one from there, and one from another prison no one had ever broken out of before.
While he wasn’t an important mobster, Tenuto got the nickname ’Angel of Death’ because he was a go-to guy if you wanted a hit done. He was even added to the FBI’s Most Wanted list in 1950. But his carelessness would be his downfall.
Albert Anastasia was a mafia don and properly insane. His answer to everything was violence and murder. When a man named Arnold Schuster did his civic duty and turned in a bank robber in 1952, American Mafia says Anastasia announced he hated squealers, and ordered Schuster killed. The job fell to Tenuto. The Angel of Death did the deed in the open on a New York Street, and there was at least one witness. When Anastasia heard his triggerman had been seen, he panicked. Tenuto could be connected to him, so he ordered his hit man killed to clean up the messy situation.
Tenuto vanished, almost certainly because he’d been murdered, but his body was never found. Some police informants said he’d been given a ’double-decker funeral,’ (per The Mafia Encyclopedia) which is when a body is placed in a false bottom underneath a different corpse.Abraham Weinberg probably pioneered cement shoes
’Bo’ Weinberg entered the world of organized crime as a young man, and by the time Prohibition rolled around, he was working for major New York bootlegger Dutch Schultz. Weinberg rose to be his right hand man, personally killing many of Schultz’s competitors, and running his empire when Schultz went on the run to avoid tax evasion charges, according to Hollywood Most Wanted.
But the book Dutch Schultz: The Brazen Beer Baron of New York reports the feds were getting close, and this concerned Weinberg. He liked his money and power, and if his boss fell, he risked losing it all. So Weinberg conspired with rival Lucky Luciano, giving the other mob boss tips on how to bring down his current don in exchange for ’a healthy cut of any future action.’ But before Luciano could move in and take over, Schultz found out about Weinberg’s betrayal.
On September 9, 1935, Weinberg left a friend’s house, got in a car, and was never seen again. While one story says Schultz killed his Judas ’with his bare hands,’ it’s the more common tale of his murder that went down in history. After being beaten almost senseless, Weinberg’s feet were encased in cement and he was dumped in the East River while still alive. Vice says that this was where the Mafia stereotypes of ’cement shoes’ and ’sleeping with the fishes’ originates from, and it may very well have happened to Weinberg, even if they never did it again.Rocco Perri vanished after getting a headache
America wasn’t the only place that banned alcohol for awhile. Ontario also got in
