Poker Legend Just Sat Down

Berry Johnston, 1986 WSOP Champion and one of the few players here with a huge banner up along the wall, is a member of the Poker Hall of Fame and is competing today. He's known as a gentleman player. In 1985, during the Main Event, he got into a monster pot with T.J. Cloutier. Johnston had A-K and Cloutier had A-J. Cloutier caught a jack on the river to knock Johnston out. He gracefully got up told his wife he was eliminated. His wife, who didn't know a thing about poker, said "Oh good, I'm hungry, can we go eat at the buffet now?"
"OK, if that's what you want to do," Johnston said.
It was poetic justice that Johnston won the following year.
