Calden Gets a Round of Applause
Nível 2
: Blinds 200/300, 300 ante
Gene Calden, the 100-year-old World War II veteran who was the oldest player in Main Event history, was just sent to the rail at the hands of Michael Carr.
According to Carr, Calden made two pair with Kx8x on a flop of Kx8x7x and check-raised from the big blind. Carr, on the button, called and made a straight on the 4♣ turn holding 6x5x. Calden got his last 19,000 in the middle but couldn't improve on the river.
The players at adjacent tables gave Calden a round of applause as he made his way to the exit, while Carr got out of his seat to shake his hand. Calden made Main Event history here today, but his run came to an end on the second level.
