Timeline
William E. Baxter, Jr. (born 1940) is an American professional poker player and sports bettor.
He has won numerous tournament titles in his career as a professional poker player, including seven World Series of Poker bracelets.
In 1975, he took a honeymoon trip to Hawaii and ended up in the Las Vegas Valley, Nevada on the way back.
He and his new bride lived in a hotel there for nine months while Baxter played poker for a living.
Baxter has won seven World Series of Poker bracelets.
All of Baxter's bracelets are in lowball games, notably Razz, Deuce-to-Seven and California Lowball (draw).
He ranks second all-time in non-Hold'em bracelets (7) behind Phil Ivey (10).
Baxter is known for staking Stu Ungar to the buy-in for Ungar's victory in the Main Event of the 1997 WSOP.
Thereafter, he entered into an arrangement to stake Ungar in tournaments, but this was cut short by Ungar's continuing personal problems which led to the latter's death in 1998.
He was inducted into the Poker Hall of Fame in 2006.
Born in Augusta, Georgia, Baxter started his gambling career like many others of his age by gambling in the pool halls.
At the age of 14, he discovered he had a talent for hustling pool games.
At the age of 16, Baxter had saved $5,000 from his hustling money.
At the age of 18, he was old enough to head to the taverns, where he discovered poker.
He attended Augusta College, but dropped out to pursue his poker career.
As of 2017, his total live tournament winnings exceed $2,600,000.
His 35 cashes at the WSOP account for $1,093,044 of those winnings.
Although Baxter is best known for his on-table poker accomplishments and staking Stu Ungar, he is also known for the case of William E. Baxter Jr. vs. the United States.
Baxter indeed sued the government for a $178,000 tax refund.
It was the judge's ruling that Baxter's poker winnings should be classified as "earned income", contrary to its previous classification of "unearned income" which was taxable up to 70 percent.
Thus, in the process, Baxter's victory in this case has helped all American poker players by providing equal tax status to those earning a living as professional poker players.
