Felton 'Corky' McCorquodale (1904–1968) was a professional poker player renowned for introducing Texas hold 'em to Las Vegas in 1963. Although poker had been legal in Las Vegas since 1931, this variant was not played until McCorquodale's introduction at the California Club. The game quickly gained popularity, spreading to other casinos like the Golden Nugget and Stardust. He was known as a skilled no-limit player and, following his death, Texas hold 'em became one of the most popular poker games worldwide.
