1972 WSOP WINNER AMARILLO SLIM PRESTON
Before becoming a well known face and tournament poker player, Preston was a rounder and toured the United States looking for gambling action along with Doyle Brunson and Sailor Roberts. Preston won the 1972 World Series of Poker main event. Following his victory he went on several talk shows, and even had a bit part in the Robert Altman movie California Split, making him moderately famous outside the poker world. He has appeared on The Tonight Show 11 times, Good Morning America, 60 Minutes, I've Got a Secret, The Tomorrow Show, Panorama, Georgia Today, and A. M. Los Angeles. As of 2006, Preston has a total of 4 WSOP bracelets, including two in Omaha holdem, and has won over $500,000 in tournament play. He was inducted into the Poker Hall Of Fame in 1992. His secret for his 1972 appearance on I've Got A Secret involved losing $190,000 in one night of playing poker.
Preston was the best friend of casino owner Benny Binion. On Preston's publicity run after his 1972 win he convinced Tom Snyder, host of The Tomorrow Show that came on right after The Tonight Show, to allow Preston, Binion, and Joe Bernstein to have the entire show. Binion didn't care to be in the public spotlight, but Preston convinced him to do it. When Binion died in 1989, he left his horse to Preston. Preston is often misquoted as saying that if a woman ever won the WSOP, he'd slit his throat, but the true story is quite different. During some of the early WSOP events an unpopular woman player got an early chip lead and declared that she was going to be the winner in front of the media. When she asked Preston what he thought of it, he told her that if she won he would slit his throat. She ultimately did not win. Preston has also helped establish gaming facilities around the world. While he was helping open the Casino de Caribe in Columbia he was kidnapped by people working for Pablo Escobar, who mistook him for another person, but was eventually released.
