Top Poker Player - Thomas Preston Amarillo Slim, along with Doyle Brunson, is one of the few remaining old-time poker stars around. The man won the 1972 WSOP championship and once took home $300,000 from Willie Nelson playing dominoes. He also beat Larry Flint for $2 million playing poker and once beat Bobby Riggs in a game of pingpong using cooking skillets as paddle. 30 years at the WSOP and he is still frequenting the tournament finals.
