Pavel Plesuv:

The board ran out for Plesuv to turn the pair of queens to eliminate Daniels.

"I just lost so much money!" he said with some despair in his voice. "I had a side bet for 50k, I needed 29th!"

The floor came over to hand him his payout ticket and then he saw he got 29th place. He jumped in the air to celebrate and then explained to some of the players that he needed 29th place as he had a $50k bet that he would reach the $3 million mark by the end of the series and that 29th place would get him to $3.1 million." He smiled and seemed giddy.

"Never seen a guy that happy after busting," a player commented.

Where Are They Now: Ron “The Carolina Express” Stanley Battled Stu Ungar at 1997 WSOP

Chad Holloway

Level 20 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Throughout the 1990s and early 2000s, Ron “The Carolina Express” Stanley, 70, was one of the most feared players in the game. In fact, he even went toe-to-toe with the legendary Stu Ungar at the final table of the 1997 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event. It was there that Stanley donned a tuxedo while playing in the intense Las Vegas heat on Fremont Street.

Stanley, who has been playing poker for a living for “at least 50 years,” was recently spotted at the 2022 WSOP and was kind enough to chat with PokerNews.

“My dad used to play poker and he’d take me to the games when I was a kid,” he said about how he learned poker in the first place. “I was watching and it got pretty interesting. He was pretty good at it and I picked it up from him. It’s in my blood I guess.”

While he hasn’t had any major tournament scores since before the Poker Boom, Stanley is still on the grind.

“I play poker 5-6 days a week at least, mostly cash games,” he said. “In Vegas, I mostly play at South Point, but I’ve been in South Carolina for six months playing a lot of home games.”
