Ulvis Alberts, the first official photographer of the World Series of Poker (WSOP) who took some of the most iconic shots from the late 1970s and early 1980s – including those that hang on the walls inside the Horseshoe Hotel & Casino – has passed away at the age of 83.
The news was first shared on social media:
“Today, on November 18, a beautiful life has come to an end. Photographer Ulvis Alberts has set off on a distant journey through the galaxies of the world. We extend our condolences to all who admired the artist’s talent and to everyone for whom Ulvis was important.
