Throughout the 1990s and early 2000s, Ron “The Carolina Express” Stanley, 70, was one of the most feared players in the game. In fact, he even went toe-to-toe with the legendary Stu Ungar at the final table of the 1997 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event. It was there that Stanley donned a tuxedo while playing in the intense Las Vegas heat on Fremont Street.
Stanley, who has been playing poker for a living for “at least 50 years,” was recently spotted at the 2022 WSOP and was kind enough to chat with PokerNews.
“My dad used to play poker and he’d take me to the games when I was a kid,” he said about how he learned poker in the first place. “I was watching and it got pretty interesting. He was pretty good at it and I picked it up from him. It’s in my blood I guess.”
While he hasn’t had any major tournament scores since before the Poker Boom, Stanley is still on the grind.
“I play poker 5-6 days a week at least, mostly cash games,” he said. “In Vegas, I mostly play at South Point, but I’ve been in South Carolina for six months playing a lot of home games.”
Pavel Plesuv raised to 30,000 from the cutoff and Romain Lewis defended his big blind.
The flop came , Lewis bet 30,000 for Plesuv to raise to 70,000. Lewis reraised to 135,000 and Plesuv called.
They both checked through the on the turn to the on the river. Lewis min-bet 30,000 for Plesuv to fire a raise of 330,000 out. Lewis tanked for a while and then called but mucked when Plesuv tabled the for the flush.
