1991 Super Bowl of Poker

Poker tournament March 2024 The Super Bowl of Poker (also known as Amarillo Slim's Super Bowl of Poker or SBOP) was the second most prestigious poker tournament in the world during the 1980s. While the World Series of Poker was already drawing larger crowds as more and more amateurs sought it out, the SBOP "was an affair limited almost exclusively to pros and hard-core amateurs."http://www.pokerlistings.com/poker-hand-of-the-day_1981-sbop-doubling-up?show=all 1981 SBOP: Doubling Up Hand of the Day Poker Listing June 15, 2009 https://web.archive.org/web/20090628013412/http://www.pokerlistings.com/poker-hand-of-the-day_1981-sbop-doubling-up?show=all June 28, 2009 live The 1991 Tournament was the last SBOP. After Caesar's Casino in Las Vegas closed its poker room, Amarillo Slim had to find a new location for the event and the best deal that he could find forced participants to drive two hours. This resulted in the smallest SBOP fields ever; the Main Event only had 12 participants. Because of the small size of the field, fewer people were paid than in previous tournaments and the prestige of winning the events suffered a setback that doomed the SBOP and made 1991 the last year for the tournament. The winners of the tournament, however, continued to represent some of the biggest names in poker. Barbara Enright, the only woman in the Poker Hall of Fame, won the ladies event. Jack Keller, another Hall of Famer, won two events, the $1,000 Pot Limit Omaha and the $10,000 Main Event. Having won the event in 1984, this was his second time to have won the $10,000 Main Event. Prior to SBOP, the only high dollar tournament a person could enter was the WSOP. "The World Series of Poker was so successful that everybody wanted more than one tournament," Amarillo Slim said.http://www.pokernews.com/news/2009/03/poker-vaults-amarillo-slim-super-bowl-poker-1197.htm From the Poker Vaults: Amarillo Slim's Super Bowl of Poker, Part I PokerNews Reback Storm March 5, 2009 June 15, 2009 https://web.archive.org/web/20090514092401/http://www.pokernews.com/news/2009/03/poker-vaults-amarillo-slim-super-bowl-poker-1197.htm May 14, 2009 live Slim called upon his connections and friendships with poker's elite to start a new tournament in February 1979. Before the SBOP had developed a reputation of its own, many of the most respected names in poker attended the tournament "more to support Slim and take advantage of the very fat cash games the event would obviously inspire."http://www.pokerlistings.com/poker-hand-of-the-day_1982-sbop-a-win-for-the-longshot-doc?show=all 1982 SBOP: A Win For the Longshot Doc Poker Hand of the Day Poker Listing Wise Gary June 19, 2009 Slim modelled his SBOP after the WSOP with several events and a $10,000 Texas Hold'em Main Event. One of the principal differences between the WSOP and the SBOP was the prize structure. The WSOP's prize structure was flat, ensuring more people received smaller pieces of the prize pool. The SBOP typically used a 60-30-10 payout structure. In other words, only the first three places received money and generally in the ratio of 60% to first place, 30% to second place, and 10% to third.http://www.pokernews.com/news/2009/03/poker-vaults-amarillo-slim-super-bowl-poker-part-2-1227.htm From the Poker Vaults: Amarillo Slim's Super Bowl of Poker, Part II PokerNews Reback Storm March 12, 2009 June 15, 2009 https://web.archive.org/web/20090515034442/http://www.pokernews.com/news/2009/03/poker-vaults-amarillo-slim-super-bowl-poker-part-2-1227.htm May 15, 2009 live This payment schedule dominated in the SBOP for the first 5 years of the event, but as the event grew the number of payouts increased while keeping the payout schedule top heavy.
