Amarillo Slim Preston Eliminated
One of the legends of the poker world, Amarillo Slim Preston, has been eliminated after a tremendous showing in this event.

In his final hand, Charles Wood opened with a raise, Slim reraised, before Wood pushed all in.

Slim exclaimed "You've got to be kidding!" before declaring "It's getting late and the boss has got a date! I call!"

Slim showed {J-Hearts}{J-Spades} but was in trouble as Wood tabled {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}.

The board ran out {2-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}{8-Hearts} and Wood hits a set to eliminate Amarillo Slim in roughly 90th place.

As he stood to exit the floor, the entire Brasilia Room stood and acknowledged Slim's departure with a generous round of applause.

Slim removed his hat, waved to the room saying "Thank you everybody" before exiting the tournament area.
