Slim Stack Gets Fatter

Amarillo Slim Preston

We arrived tableside quite late in the hand but it looked as though Amarillo Slim had bet out on the turn of the {k-Spades}{6-Spades}{j-Hearts}{8-Spades} board and his opponent called.

Either way, both players checked the {6-Hearts} river and Slim turned over {a-Hearts} {k-Hearts}. "I needed a spade," said his disgruntled opponent, and the rather frail Slim took his time over stacking his chips - after that, he's on an up-there 35,000.
