2008 WSOP Day 27: Senior moment
H.O.R.S.E. World Championship. Before that happens, though, let's check out what's been happening in today's action. Event 42
At about 2 p.m. the finalists in the Senior No-Limit Hold'em World Championship returned to the felt to begin playing down to a bracelet. One might think that being a table full of 50-and-older players, the name of the game was going to be tight, old-school playing.
That theory has partly held up as the players haven't seen many flops so far, but the few that they've seen have been important, with two resulting in players being busted out.
The first player to head to the rail was Marty Wilson. Fred Berger had raised to $90,000, and play folded around to Wilson, who moved all-in for his last $439,000.
It took Berger about five minutes of thinking, but he eventually made the call to show A Q to Wilson's 8 8. The flop came Q Q K, and only an eight could save Wilson from the muck. When the board played out J 7, he was done.
Ed Clark was the next to be eliminated. The board had folded around to Marc Fluss on the button. Fluss raised to $150,000 and Clark went all-in from the big blind.
Fluss made the call, and the race was on as he flipped up pocket nines to Clark's A 7. The board came Q 5 Q J 9 to give Fluss the hand. Clark departed in eighth place.
That leaves Dale Eberle sitting with the chip lead and Dan Lacourse and Fluss not too far behind him. Jerry Yamachika, Berger, Peter Silverstein and Charles Wood are hanging in as well.
