Side story of amarillo.
I seen him at a jewerly store in vegas with a few of my buddies who were drunk at the time. One of my buddies said 'hey look its amarillo, yea wsop.' Another friend who knows nothing about poker says 'who is he' first friends says 'he won the world series'
I said 'yea there was like 30 people in it' everyone in the jewerly store started giggling. Slim was not impressed tho.
