and the big blind checked to Slim, who tossed out a 4,300 bet, after which his opponent mucked.The hand brought Slim's chip count past the 50,000 mark on the day, which puts him in the top 10 percent of the field.
Though he hasn't played many tournaments over the past couple of years, Slim is once again showing the world why he's a living legend and one of the game's all-time greats.
Hailing from Burlingame, CA, (notice the word "game" hidden within the name of his hometown) Baxter is the co-author of "World Class Puzzles," and is considered one of the top tangram solvers in the world. A tangram, by definition, is "a Chinese puzzle made by cutting a square of thin material into five triangles, a square, and a rhomboid which are capable of being recombined in many different figures." (Webster's Online Dictionary.)
Baxter has amassed a field-leading chip stack of 76,000 chips and seems to be making short work of each table he has moved to. His friends have given him the nickname "Baby Face Baxter," as a tribute to his boyish good looks; this is Baxter's first year of eligibility for the Seniors tournament.
We'll keep you posted on Baxter's progress throughout the remainder of Day 1, as he looks to make a strong finish going into Day 2.
