Where is Amarillo Slim?

[clutch]

What happened to Amarillo Slim? I never heard the results of his child molestation case. Was he convicted? Was he exonerated but shunned by the poker world?

It's as if his name has been erased from the books.

[Trainwreck]

Not sure on Slim, but I ran into him at last years WSOP, I assume he's still competing, but like a lot of old pros (pre-BOOM), not showing up on the radar.

You could say this about lots of old timers who just aren't household names.

I tracked down the story, In Feb. 2004, Slim got two years deferred adjudication and a $4,000 fine, charges were lowered to a misdeamenor, so he basically paid $4000 + court costs and lawyers and that was that.

The sexual offense charges were tossed, he pled guilty to three simple assault charges.

Got the info off Amarillo Newspaper site, u had to sign up to get access or I'd link it...

Try this site for some info, and some amusing forum discussion:

This homepokergames.com site is a riot. Completely unfiltered, anonymous comments so you get to see a lot of uh, unvarnished opinions. Slim actually gets off easy. Some of these other more current players have the most incredibly depraved stuff on their pages. Fun readin'

[sammysusar]

site is hillarious. I like the varkoni comment where the guy says if you put moneymaker and varkoni on celebrity poker they would finish behind david schwimmer. granted i think moneymaker is a pretty good player.

I love the way it says at the bottom..

This forum got nothing on their anonymous posters, and obviously they have never banned an IP, ever!

We have a relatively new card room that is pretty nice. Slim spent last week playing mostly PL Omaha. I think he liked being a big fish in a small pond.

[NickPoker]

I think you are right earlier in the year I played a $200 capped NL game with him at Bally's.

oh gawd

I have no knowledge of Slim's situation other than what has been reported. However--

My friend's elderly father was sitting on the porch watching the grandkids and great-grandkids, when a 4-year old girl skinned her knee. She ran to him, he wiped her knee with a hanky, and sent her on her way with a pat on the butt.

The child's mother, who was going through a divorce from one of his sons, saw this and called the police. For purely vindictive reasons.

He got two years and never did fully comprehend what happened.

This is why I'm reluctant to pass judgment on Slim.

I call bullshit. I guarantee there is either WAY more to this story, or it is a total fabrication. Elderly men with clean records and several corroborating defense eyewitnesses do not do 2 years because of a "vindictive mom". Yet another Urban legend....

Bow down.

[Blackdirt12]

Whoa, when did this happen? Can I get a link? The shock associated with the fact that slim may be a pedderass has disabled my ability to google:
"Amarillo Slim,"
"Eight year olds, Dude."

[sprfcta]

No BS.

[SNOWBALL138]

I call BS also. This is too unlikely. I think your that your friend is either a dupe or a liar.
