Amarillo Slim Preston Still Enjoying The Game

[user38420]

Amarillo Slim Preston is probably one of the most famous professional players to ever play the game. After winning the W.S.O.P. Main Event in 1972, Slim appeared on the Tonight Show, 60 Minutes, Good Morning America, and the Tomorrow Show with Tom Snyder. Slim also appeared in the Robert Altman movie California Split with George Segal and Elliot Gould.

In his seventies, Slim remains a top player. After winning the Main Event in 1972 he went on to win 3 more gold bracelets. In1974 he won a bracelet for No Limit Hold'em, in 1985 for Pot Limit Omaha and 1990 for Pot Limit Omaha.

He's always entertaining at the table and everyone enjoys hearing the many tales he has to tell. One thing he said that he counts on is that, "when my opponents sit down at the table to play, they anticipate losing and I try my darndest not to disappoint one of them."
