Calvin Anderson was spotted on the rail and had a brief chat with a PokerNews reporter to reveal that he had two horses in the Seniors Championship. Anderson's father Jason and his uncle Charles Lutz made it to Day 3.
Anderson revealed that his father and Lutz were joined by two others at the start of the tournament, swapping pieces of action between them.
Both have below-average stacks at the moment and will be hoping to quickly double up to start moving up the pay ladder. Calvin revealed they are planning to jump into the $10,000 H.O.R.S.E championship, but plans may change.
