16mm Film Raw Footage - Amarillo Slim

Amarillo Slim footage   

This is a 16mm color/silent film print about 15 minutes of footage of Amarillo Slim (a professional Poker Player). Shows him gambling, white water rafting, and some interview footage (but there's no sound). Not sure what this was from.

Here's some information on him from Wikipedia: "Thomas Austin Preston, Jr. (born December 31, 1928 in Johnson, Arkansas), known as Amarillo Slim, is an American professional gambler known for his poker skills and proposition bets. Preston won the main event at the 1972 World Series of Poker and was inducted into the Poker Hall of Fame in 1992.

Before becoming a well-known tournament player, Preston was a rounder, touring the United States looking for gambling action along with Doyle Brunson and Sailor Roberts.

Following his WSOP victory he appeared on several talk shows, including The Tonight Show, and had a bit part in the 1974 Robert Altman movie California Split. He appeared on I've Got a Secret, where his secret involved losing $190,000 in one night of poker.

As of 2010[update], Preston has a total of four WSOP bracelets including two in Omaha. Preston's most recent WSOP win was in 1990. Preston's tournament earnings total more than $575,000.

In January/February 1980 Amarillo Slim hosted the Second Annual Poker Classic which was the second most prestigious poker tournament in its time. This series eventually came to be called the Super Bowl of Poker and continued until 1991. Gabe Kaplan became the first winner of this tournament series[4] and Stu Ungar won the title three times."
