R.I.P: Amarillo Slim

R.I.P.: Amarillo Slim

He was perhaps the most famous Texas Hold 'Em player in the days before the internet. He won the WSOP in 1972 and later hosted his own tournament in the 80s. He once appeared on I've Got a Secret, where his secret was that he lost $190,000 in one night of poker.

He was known not just as a poker player, but as a professional gambler in general, a guy who would look for a smart play on just about anything.
