I believe Weenie Beanie won about 90/100 thousand from Cleo Vaughn.
Cleo was living in a older house with 105 siding and driving a Chevrolet at the time.
That much money was a phenomenal amount at that point in time.
Cleo moved to Vegas and worked there for some years before returning South.
He told me all the years he lived there he never beat the big poker games.
He'd get paid beat the small games then go off in the high stakes games.
I remember he was originally from "Marked Tree Ark.
He finished in Mobile with a pool hall and sports book and did very well.
I remember Fats telling he he shared a room in Blytheville with Greg"Big Train" Stevens.
He said they were about broke and spent their last money on chickens (21 of them) fried them and ate them all in one meal.
