Tonight, on an episode of I've Got A Secret, from 1972, Amarillo Slim was a guest (his secret was that he'd lost 190k in a poker game). He also mentioned just having won $60,000 by winning first place in the 8-person WSOP (originally there were supposed to be 12 players, but only 8 agreed to goto the finals after playing a lengthly session just prior (he himself played 2 days and nights with 6 horus rest in between). Either way, I suppose he could be mistaken, but I'd think he'd know how much the prize was - though it conflicts with this article's prize of $80k. Hope this helps someone with this article.
