The WSOP's Oldest Player, Jack Ury, Eliminated

See you next year, Jack
See you next year, Jack
The blinds both checked to 97-year old Jack Ury on a flop of {A-Hearts} {Q-Diamonds} {4-Diamonds}. Ury bet 3,000, the small blind called and the big blind folded. The turn came the {5-Diamonds} and the small blind set Ury all in for his remaining 7,800. He made the call.

Ury's {A-Diamonds} {10-Hearts} was way behind his opponent's {A-Clubs} {J-Diamonds} and he was looking for a ten or a diamond on the river to survive. He couldn't get there, the {8-Clubs} falling to eliminate him from the Main Event to a round of applause from the Amazon Room.
