Billy Baxter, A Legend of The Game
He has no less than seven bracelet but for now the Main Event's not one of them. Poker legend Billy Baxter has decided to enter this year's Main Event on Day 1a, as we've just spotted him at one of the tables in the Amazon Orange section.
Since 2008 Baxter has cashed in just two tournaments, a WPT and the $2,500 Razz at last year's WSOP. Baxter's first bracelet dates back to 1975 when he won the $1,000 no-limit 2-7 single draw. In the following years Baxter won two more tournaments of the same format and the $2,500 no-limit ace-to-five lowball.
Baxter's known as a lowball specialist, since all of his bracelets except for one came in this format. The last time Baxter raised his arms aloft to celebrate a bracelet win was back in 2002 when he won the $1,500 Razz tournaments. Today he'll try to survive Day 1a of the Main Event, a tournament he last cashed in 2007.
