1990 Super Bowl of Poker

1990 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 Prior to 1979, the only high dollar tournament a person could enter was the WSOP. 1972 WSOP Main Event Champion and outspoken ambassador for poker Amarillo Slim saw this as an opportunity. "The World Series of Poker was so successful that everybody wanted more than one tournament," he 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 the 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 predominated 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. 1990 Tournament The 1990 SBOP had arguably one of the toughest final tables ever assembled. Four of the final six players (Jack Keller, Stu Ungar, T. J. Cloutier, and Chip Reese) have all been inducted into the Poker Hall of Fame. A fifth player, Hamid Dastmalchi won the WSOP Main Event in 1992. Between the five of them, they have acquired 20 WSOP bracelets. T. J. Cloutier did at the SBOP what he has failed to do at the WSOP, despite making 4 WSOP Main Event Final tables, by winning the SBOP Main Event. Billy Baxter won the Deuce To Seven Lowball. Deuce to Seven is the format type where Baxter has won five WSOP bracelets. Baxter had finished in second place in various SBOP Deuce to Seven Lowball five times and third once.William Baxter's profile on The Hendon Mob https://pokerdb.thehendonmob.com/player.php?a=r&n=9883 March 31, 2022 The Hendon Mob Poker Database en Hoyt Corkins a two time bracelet and one time World Poker Tour winner won his first major tournament at the 1990 SBOP.Hoyt Corkins' profile on The Hendon Mob https://pokerdb.thehendonmob.com/player.php?a=r&n=20525 March 31, 2022 The Hendon Mob Poker Database en Key *Elected to the Poker Hall of Fame. †Denotes player who is deceased.
