Amarillo Slim Preston is the most famous professional poker player to ever play the game. No other person living or dead ever brought more attention to the game of poker, or to himself. After winning the World Series of Poker in 1972, Slim appeared on the Tonight Show many times, did other television like 60 Minutes, Good Morning America, the Tomorrow Show with Tom Snyder and appeared in the Robert Altman movie California Split with George Segal and Elliot Gould. More recently the attention he brought unto himself was due to legal troubles leading to him pleading guilty to three misdemeanor charges.
Now in his seventies, Slim continues to be one of the world's most talented poker players, particularly in Pot Limit Omaha and Hold'em, and No Limit Hold'em. His reading of the action in final table tournament commentary is often amazingly accurate.
