Event 10: Seniors Cruising and Rivering Quads

$300 Seniors 50+ No Limit Hold’em (Re-Entry)
Level 6: 200/400 with a 50 Ante
Entries: 152

The Seniors Event is rolling right along in the back of the room and crossed over 150 entries after the first break. That leaves them only a handful away from topping the entry count last year and putting up some nice money later this evening.

Along the way, we heard a commotion coming from one of the Seniors Event tables with regular Jeff Kessler jumping out of his seat. He wasn’t involved in the hand (pictured above) but we found three flopped sets with bottom set hitting the one-outer for quads on the river.

Event 10: Seniors Time

$300 Seniors 50+ No Limit Hold’em (Re-Entry)
Level 1: 25/50

Yesterday we had the Ladies Event and today we roll out the Seniors 50+ tournament for another fun afternoon of poker. It drew a nice group of 161 entries last year and we don’t see any reason why it won’t do as well today.

The Seniors will begin with 10,000 starting stacks and the tournament will run 30-minute levels from start to finish. Late registration and unlimited re-entries are available until the start of Level 9 at 4:30pm with a dinner break built in at 6:30pm. They’ll return after dinner to play down to our next Seniors Event champion.

Cards fly at noon and we’ll keep an eye on them throughout the day.

  • Players begin with 10,000 in chips and 30-minute levels
