Where is Amarillo Slim?
 

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.

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...

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'

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.

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