< &'Amarillo Slim' Preston
Amarillo Slim, Poker Ambassador and non-stop source of Tall Tales, has been competing in WSOP events since their inception, with a number of bracelets to his credit. Some very lively memories in this shares a few of his favorite Slim stories. Ken Adams tells us what it's like Shooting the Bull with "Amarillo Slim" Preston.
Johnny Chan
Rising to international recognition with his WSOP main event victory in 1987, and again in 1988, Johnny Chan continues to be one of the most recognized names in poker.
T.J. Cloutier
One the last of the great road gamblers, T.J. was the first player to win over $1 million at the World Series of Poker (WSOP) without winning the main event.
Phil Hellmuth
Phil is a well known character in the poker community. He has 6 WSOP Bracelets, including the 1989 WSOP No Limit Hold'em Main event which made him the youngest-ever WSOP winner at age 24.
Interviews with Phil abound on the internet. He talks about the hand that still haunts him from the 2001 WSOP.
Thuan "Scotty" Nguyen
Nicknamed "The Prince", Scotty took the WSOP championship title in 1998 and is among the highest earning players of all time.
Doyle Brunson
Nicknamed "Texas Dolly", Doyle has 8 WSOP bracelets to his name and has already been inducted into the Poker Hall of Fame.
Stu Ungar (deceased)
Stu Ungar is considered by many to be the greatest No Limit Hold'em player of all time, with three WSOP championship titles to his credit. This fascinating article by Mike Sexton chronicles his life. It offers an incredible tribute to "Stuey" via many moving posts by those who knew him (including Mike Sexton, Nolan Dalla, Todd Brunson, and Doyle Brunson) and those whose paths crossed with him but briefly. It also offers a compelling portrait of the "tortured champion". His last days are described both in the Las Vegas Review Journal and with an extremely tragic quote from his then-16-year-old daughter that she had encouraged him repeatedly to get help for his cocaine addiction.
Roger Moore
Roger is considered to be among the legendary Southern gamblers, named in the same breath as Doyle Brunson.
Eric Seidel
Eric is a highly accomplished player and placed second to Johnny Chan in spectacular form during the 1988 WSOP championship event.
Johnny Moss
Johnny Moss is known as the "Grand Old Man" of poker. He has won the World Series of World Championship three times.
