My First WSOP: Four-Time Bracelet Artie Cobb Reflects on Early Days of Poker

Look over a list of four-time World Series of Poker bracelet winners and you won't be surprised at many of the names. Puggy Pearson, Amarillo Slim, Bobby Baldwin, Tom McEvoy, Mike Matusow are all men with storied careers who've captured four pieces of gold. However, one name that might not jump out is Artie Cobb.

Cobb, who turns 73 later this year, won his first bracelet in 1983 when he defeated a field of 104 in Event #3: $1,000 Seven-Card Stud Hi-Low for $52,000.
