Rod Pardey Sr. has been a stud specialist for more than four decades, and he's still going strong, currently sitting around the starting stack of 10,000 in the $1,500 Seven Card Stud event.
Pardey's stud prowess goes all the way back to the 1981 Amarillo Slim Super Bowl of Poker, where Pardey finished third in the $5,000 Seven Card Stud event. He has a pair of WSOP bracelets to his name, which came in 1991 and 1994, both in the $2,500 Seven Card Stud event.
Stud is a game that attracts some of the legendary characters of poker, and Pardey is about as old school as it gets. He has amassed more than $700,000 in live tournament earnings, the vast majority of those winnings coming in stud events.
His biggest cash, however, came just four years ago, at the 2015 WSOP in the $1,000 No-Limit Hold'em Super Seniors Event, where he finished second and bagged $162,100.
His son, Rod Pardey Jr., is also playing in this year's $1,500 Seven Card Stud event,
