Ron Carrocio is proving he's no push over at the tables. He came into play today with over 250,000 in chips and is seated directly to the left of Jack Salter who had this to say on Twitter about Mr. Carrocio:

Jack SalterI made friends with old guy on my left. He 3bet me 4 times in first 35mins and I folded every time #tasteofmyownmedicine #HPO

Salter was even more impressed after Carrocio picked up a good sized chunk of chips from another big stack on a {8-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{3-Clubs} flop and showed the bluff with {A-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}.

"Us old guys can play too," said Carrocio after Salter slapped him on the back.

Jack SalterOld guy on my left is a beast. He defend sb and c/r huge 863ccc then 4 bet flop to 100k and shows A5dd. #bosssssssssssssssssssssss

Carroccio impressed Brian Hastings as well:

Brian HastingsOld guy at my table just 4bet flop over 100bb deep on T74ccc and showed A5dd after getting a fold. So sick! #HPO2014
