Underdog In The House

Among the thousands and thousands of players who may consider themselves underdogs while playing in this years Seniors Tournament, we spotted one player who really was Underdog.
Tim LaRoache began today's tournament dressed up in what we must admit is a perfectly rendered costume of any cartoon connoisseur's favorite canine character, Underdog. Complete with a bright red, pajama-style suit, a flowing blue cape and even a hat with dangling dog ears, LaRoache's get-up couldn't help but draw our attention.
When we caught up with LaRoache to ask what inspired him to dress up as Underdog, he told us that it all started back at his home casino of Foxwoods in Connecticut. According to LaRoache, he played in one of the casino's signature $10,000 WPT events and went into competition as the decided underdog. Since then, people know him by that name and he decided that once he turned 50, he would play in the Seniors Tournament dressed as his namesake.
LaRoache told us "If I'm going to do this, I'm going to go all out," and that living up to that Underdog spirit is what this event is really all about.
