1978 WSOP WINNER BOBBY BALDWIN
Bobby "The Owl" Baldwin (born 1950s) is a professional poker player and casino executive.
When Baldwin won the 1978 World Series of Poker main event he became the youngest winner in its history, to be superseded by Stu Ungar in 1980 and then Phil Hellmuth in 1989. His major wins include four WSOP bracelets, all won from 1977 to 1979. In 2003 he was inducted into the Poker Hall of Fame.
In 1982 he became a consultant for the Golden Nugget casino, and in 1984 was named the president. He was selected to head the Mirage in 1987 and was named as the president of the Bellagio hotel and casino in 1998. In 1999 - 2000 he was also the Chief Financial Officer of Mirage Resorts under Steve Wynn; in 2000, upon the merger of Mirage Resorts and MGM Grand, he became the Chief Executive Officer of the Mirage Resorts subsidiary of MGM Mirage.
In 2005, after the acquisition of Mandalay Resort Group by MGM MIRAGE, Baldwin became CEO and President of the announced Project City Center, while continuing his responsibilities as CEO of the Mirage Resorts subsidiary. Baldwin now oversees additional resorts added through the Mandalay Resort Group buyout as well as the previous Wynn properties.
In addition to poker, Baldwin is also known as a world class billiards player. Baldwin and his playing style are the subject of a book entitled Bobby Baldwin's Winning Poker Secrets, written by Mike Caro. Baldwin has written many columns on poker and he authored a section for Doyle Brunson's Super/System. His own book Tales Out of Tulsa, a poker guide for novices, was published in 1985.
As of 2006, his total live tournament winnings exceed $600,000.
