Growing up and living in Texas all of my life, I have heard tales and stories of the worlds greatest gambler, Thomas Amarillo Slim Preston Jr. From beating Minnesota Fats at pool with a broom, to hitting a golf ball a mile across a frozen lake, his journey to gambling greatness never fails to amaze me. As a poker player he rides on the edge of sheer brilliance, winning 4 WSOP bracelets, including the main event in 1972, forever leaving his mark in poker history. Amarillo Slim is much more than just a poker player though, he is a Texas treasure, a great story teller, and a character of the world. Amarillo Slim is an icon known the world over as a man who will bet on just about anything.
Seriously, this guy is awesome. I have heard many interviews with him, and he is crazy like a fox! I want to get his book, Amarillo Slim in a World of Fat People.
