A Blue Shark Tale

One of the staples at every poker tournament is the use of sunglasses to shield one's eyes, and while there are many types of shades to choose from, players in the know have made Blue Shark Optics the recognized leader in the industry.

As the official poker eyewear provider of the World Series of Poker, Blue Shark Optics designs cutting edge sunglasses designed specifically for the game, and today Blue Shark owner Kerry Karoutsos is hoping to see through his fellow seniors.

We caught up with Karoutsos recently and watched him drop a small pot with the board showing {9-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{q-Hearts}{q-Clubs}{4-Hearts}, after he checked the river holding {5-Clubs}{8-Spades}. His opponent took it down with {6-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} for a flopped pair, but despite the early setback, Karoutsos' appeared to be in good spirits, conversing amiably with the player who dragged the pot.
