Puggy Pearson Dies

Posted by Slobokan @ 23:57 · 88 words · print

Poker legend Walter Clyde "Puggy" Pearson, the man credited with creating the style of play made famous by the
World Series of Poker, died Wednesday, his family said. He was 77.

Pearson was known as the father of no-limit freeze out poker, the game Benny Binion turned into the World Series of Poker at his Horseshoe Club casino in downtown Las Vegas in 1970.

In a freeze out tournament, all the players start with the same amount of money and play until one player wins all the chips.

Rest In Peace, Puggy.
