Barny Boatman was seen entering the tournament area and when he took his seat, the table's conversation immediately spiked.
Kenna James asked Boatman if he was on his second entry.
"I've got a second bullet in the chamber but I'm not sure why you need to know?" was Boatman's response to the table chip leader.

Ron Fetsch made the final table of the 2023 $1,000 Seniors No-Limit Hold'em, finishing in eighth place ($95,040).
Two years later and against all odds, Fetsch made the final table again in the very same tournament this summer at the World Series of Poker. Even more surprising, he finished in eighth place again ($85,872)
Perhaps it's time for Fetsch to fetch a deep run in the Super Seniors.

Badih Bounahra raised to 1,100 and William Casano responded with a raise to 3,200.
Daniel Delatorre went ahead and pushed all his chips in the middle, Bounahra folded and Casano called.
William Casano: A♥A♠
Daniel Delatorre: 10♠10♥
The flop got Delatorre's heart rate up as it scrolled across Q♠10♣2♣, clapping his hand in excitement. Casano quietly looked on as the Q♣ and 2♦ completed the board.
Casano left the tournament area but may have a reentry available to him if he cares to join the battle again.

Nina Hazdovac was under the gun when one of her cards was revealed as the A♠ during the pitch. As is customary when this happens, the deal continues normally and the revealed card is replaced last. The dealer forgot to give Hazdovac her second card so she requested it when action was on her.
Hazdovac then went all in but, according to Barny Boatman, the dealer said "I think I gave her the ace of spades again..." while the all-in player quietly sat there. The floor was called and no one could determine definitively if the A♠ was distributed again. Hazdovac had obvious reasons to stay quiet in such a unique situation.
The floor ruled that because there was significant action and there was no sure way of knowing if a mistake was made the hand would play on normally.
As it turns out, the rest of the table folded and Hazdovac still didn't want to reveal whether she had been dealt the best ace in the deck again.
