The 'King of Prop' Looks for Action

PokerNews field reporter Neil Fray (pictured here) stands 6' 6" tall and when he arrived to check out the action at Amarillo Slim's table, the following conversation took place:

Slim: "How tall are you?"

Fray: "Six foot, six"

Slim: "You play basketball?"

Fray: "Ya."

Slim: "Think you can beat an old man at shooting free throws?"

Another player at the table then chimed in, "That sounds like a prop bet to me."

For the next couple of minutes the table drilled Fray about his free throw percentages in high school and about his free throw ability in general.

Slim then told the table, "How much you want to put up? I bet I can put up more than any of you. The kid gets 10% of the winnings."

Nobody has taken Slim up on the bet as of yet, but the discussion at the table continues.
