Veteran of the Felt: Vincent Burgio Holds Strong as Oldest Remaining Player
Level 14
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
During the last break, the floorman was searching for the oldest remaining player in Event #48. That honor went to none other than Vince Burgio at 90 years young, a legend of the game with over $2 million in reported tournament earnings. Burgio won a WSOP gold bracelet in 1994 in the $1,500 Seven Card Stud Split event. A member of the Seniors Poker Hall of Fame, he had the honor of announcing, "Shuffle up and Deal!" to commence play after the break.
