Wow, good to see one-time Luton stalwart (now just an occasional Luton-G-er) Graham Hiew, whose cashes to Tourney ratio is immense. Graham won the Amsterdam Master Classics Main Event 5 or 6 years ago, & got 3rd in the Omaha at the same Fessie a few years later, & has quite a few Luton Fessie wins to his credit. One of my earliest poker buds.

NEWS FLASH:

 

SENIORS WORLD SERIES OF POKER CHAMPIONSHIP SHATTERS ATTENDANCE & PRIZE POOL RECORDS

 

2,707 ENTRIES REPRESENTS 22% INCREASE OVER LAST YEAR

 

 

Las Vegas, NV (June 22, 2009) – This year’s Seniors World Series of Poker Championship has set an all-time attendance record.  This year’s tournament attracted a whopping 2,707 entries, the most ever for any seniors’ competition in poker history. 

 

The previous high mark was set at last year’s World Series of Poker, when there were 2,218 entries.  These figures represent a 22 percent increase year-over-year.  A record $2,463,700 prize pool was set for this event as well, with first place paying a record $437,358.

 

The first Seniors World Series of Poker Championship was played at the 1993 World Series of Poker.  Since then, the WSOP has hosted a special tournament for seniors – open to any player aged 50 or higher on the day the tournament begins.   

 

“We are very honored and humbled by the overwhelming turnout today,” said Jeffrey Pollack , President and Commissioner of the WSOP.  “The WSOP attracts players of all ages – from their early 20s to players in their 90s.  The Seniors Championship is truly special and this year’s winner will hopefully be enjoying retirement with a nice 437-times return on their $1,000 entry.”

 

Since Harrah’s took ownership of the WSOP in 2004, the Seniors Championship has seen attendance skyrocket from 519 entrants to this year’s 2,707, a more than five-fold increase.  The accompanying table shows the last six years of entrants for the Seniors Event at the WSOP.

 

OH SAY CAN YOU SEE-NIORS – LAST 6 YEARS OF WSOP SENIORS EVENT

 

YEAR # OF ENTRANTS
 
2009       2,707
 
2008       2,218
 
2007       1,882
 
2006       1,184
 
2005         825
 
2004        519
 

 

 

This is but one of several records which have been shattered at the 2009 World Series of Poker.  Several events have attracted the largest fields in their history.  Many events also generated the largest prize pools in history.  The bottom line is – despite concerns about the global economy – the World Series of Poker continues to be a popular destination and ambition for poker players of all ages, all around the world

[tikay]

And late news, just in.....the Seniors Event is SOLD -OUT! Jeez, go the Old Boys, playing their own brand of "proper poker".

[tikay]

What's that ducky?

What it says. None of this dancing malarky, we just sit there for days on end, waiting for Premiums, & swapping yarns.

If anyone wants to see the Entry List, let me know, & I'll post it, but it's too big to Post in one go, it exceeds the blonde "Character Limit".

It's the usual Brit suspects - Geoff Hill (Grandad of blondeite "Junior"), James Browning, Alan Vinson, Marty Wilson, Tomy Holden, Des Wilson, Dave Barnes, Jeff Burke, Jeff Duval, da de da.

One Brit goes by the name of Jack Warner. Evening all.
