Doyle Brunson vs. Amarillo Slim Scooter Race


Is there a better way to pass the dinner break at the 2009 WSOP than getting head a scooter race prop bet for $2,000 between poker legends Doyle Brunson and Amarillo Slim?

Amarillo Slim won it, btw, which shouldn’t be a shocker given that Doyle has about a buck fifty on him.

Amarillo Slim Playing $5-10 Hold’em at Bellagio Friday Night


Amarillo-slim Well, he must not have been beaten up too bad.

We received text messages from WCP readers last night that poker legend Amarillo Slim was playing the $5-10 hold’em game at the Bellagio in Las Vegas last night.

This, just days after getting mangled and mugged.

Slim had a finger in a splint, but otherwise seemed OK. Apparently some railbirds were snapping photos of him and Bellagio security kindly escorted them away.

If any of you photo takers are reading this, please send said photos to contact@wickedchopspoker.com, or start a new thread and post them here.
