, and again both players checked.
Buffer turned over 
. One player turned up and the other player threw her cards into the muck. Buffer seemed in good spirits and wished all the players at his table good luck in the tournament.
We heard someone shout, "Slim's got it!" and rushed over to see what had happened.
We caught up just in time to see that Amarillo Slim was all-in and had 
on a 
board, which left him with a flush. We did not catch his lone opponent's hole cards.
In any case, Slim dragged the pot and is back up to 4,200.

Jack Effel has just informed us that they found the oldest player in the field -- 87-year-old Claude Smithern from Palm Springs, California.
Smithern was asked to give a few words, to which he said, "I have a last longer bet - it's between me and the chips, but I think I'm gonna win." The crowd laughed and applauded.
Smithern is currently sitting with 1,275.
Staying true to the form of his cartoon counterpart, Tim 'Underdog" LaRoache is battling through Day 1 with a short stack of only 1,300 or so chips. While the real deal used to remind viewers that "There's no need to fear, Underdog is here!" LaRoache might have plenty to fear if he doesn't start making moves soon.
With the blinds escalating every hour and his stack dwindling quickly, the Senior Championship's resident underdog may be vanquished before the dinner break.
We missed most of the action but caught Kerry Goldberg dragging a large pot his way after his his the board hard. With the 
spread across the table, Goldberg's four kings were far and away the best hand and he built his stack to a healthy 5,250.
In a repeat of what had become a common occurrence today, we witnessed a hand which needed dealer supervision to assure that the players had things sorted out correctly.
After getting it all-in with his for king-high on a board of 
, Bill Ellis was discouraged to see he was trailing the of his opponent. Looking for a king or ten on the river to take the pot, Ellis watched as the dealer delivered the 
and stood up to depart the table.
It took the dealer's patient explanation, and the encouragement of his fellow players, to convince Ellis that he had actually chopped the pot with the full house on board. Ellis retook his seat with a sheepish grin and exchanged a friendly fist pound with his opponent before resuming his tournament.
The oldest player in the field is also one of the most entertaining to watch. Claude Smithern checked his option in the big blind after one player limped in preflop from early position.
The flop ran out 
. Smithern bet 250 and his opponent called. The turn brought the 
and Smithern led out with 450 and his opponent called. The hit on the river and Smithern moved all in for his remaining 375 chips. His opponent made the call and turned over pocket nines.
Smithern turned up his hand saying he "had the Doyle Brunson" and revealed . When he was scooping up his chips he looked around and said "Hey Doyle, where the hell are you at?"
