Seniors Event Draws Big Again
A year after it drew 4,425 players, Event #40: $1,000 Seniors' No-Limit Hold'em Championship pulled in a healthy 4,193. After 11 levels, Dale Eberle notched the chip lead, having run his starting stack of 5,000 up to 160,000. He leads the 566 survivors.
John Holley (59,500), TJ Cloutier (58,100), Robert Cheung (43,200), Allyn Shulman (21,400), Ted Forrest (18,700), Scott Lazar (16,500), and Jim MacManus (12,800) were some of the well-known Seniors Event eligible players – at least 50 years old – to make to Day 2.
Defending champ Dan Heimiller was among those eliminated.
Play resumes at 11 a.m. Saturday at 600/1,200/200, and the field should hit the money fairly early on as 423 will cash.
