Welcome to PokerNews coverage of Event #40: $5,000 Seniors High Roller No-Limit Hold'em. If you are over 50 and a serious poker player, this tournament has likely been on your calendar for some time. The $5,000 buy-in is the highest of the year for those who consider themselves senior competitors. Day 1 produced a total of 748 entries, generating a prize pool of $3,535,280. A total of 272 players will return for Day 2 at the Horseshoe and Paris, Las Vegas. However, that number is expected to grow, as late registration remains open for the first two levels of the day.

Patrick White enters Day 2 with a chip count of 479,000, securing the second position in the standings. White has demonstrated strong momentum in the 2025 World Series of Poker and will seek to improve upon his 48th-place finish in Event #19: $500 The Colossus. He will be pursuing the chip leader, Paul Snead, who concluded Day 1 with 507,000. Gary Gelman completes the top three with a total of 406,500.

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Action folded around to Daniel Forte who limped the small blind. Ron West moved all in from the big blind for around 70,000. Forte took some time before making the call, only just covering West's stack.

Ron West: A♦A♣All in
Daniel Forte: K♦K♣

West's pocket aces were good on the 10♥3♥J♥10♦8♠ board and secured himself the double.

Forte was left with around 2 big blinds after the hand and was seen walking away from the tournament area just a few hands later.
