RIP Slim

Before I was aware of the global culture of poker, and it was just another game to play during lunch time at school... I had heard the name and part of the legend that was Amarillo Slim!!

He was a missing link between the old west and the modern game and his stories are as numerous as the punters he fleeced.. 

There will never be another player remotely close to him in terms of persona and style 

RIP Slim and with him a part of poker history, (only Doyle can now claim) dies.
