Paul McKinney Enjoying and Doing Well

[user38420]

Paul Mckinney is back to win again. He said, "there are four things I really enjoy in life, poker, moonshine, horse racing and well endowed women, not necessarily in that order." At 83 years young, he may be the eldest of our seniors. Still sharp as a tack and witty as ever, it's always fun to watch him play.
