Default Re: Where is Amarillo Slim?

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...

[http://amarillo.com is the Newspaper's site]

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

You could say he has a few detractors. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
