Oklahoma Johnny Circles the Welcome Wagon

After delivering a heartfelt opening speech to begin today's Senior's Championship, in which he managed to name drop his website OKJohnny.com and memorialize Jerry Buss in just a few short minutes, Oklahoma Johnny Hale has kept himself busy.

Although Hale never won a gold bracelet, Oklahoma Johnny finished 2nd or 3rd in six WSOP events during the 1980's, and his status as one of poker's living legends is undisputed. Today, Hale has been seen buzzing around the Brasilia Room on his motorized scooter, wishing players at every table good luck and welcoming them to the Senior's Championship.

"I just want to thank ya'll for coming out to the play in the Senior's event," said Hale with genuine enthusiasm. "We appreciate each and every one of ya'll and wish you the best of luck today."

When his rounds were completed, Hale took his seat and began play, hoping to take down his first WSOP bracelet in the event that has become his personal passion.
