It's a Super Day for the Super Seniors

Welcome back to the 2017 World Series of Poker (WSOP), live from the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada. As the 2017 Seniors Championship wraps up today, the third running of the 65+ Super Seniors will get underway.

Event #35: $1,000 Super Seniors No-Limit Hold’em kicks off at 10 a.m. local time with a sizeable field expected. In 2016, James Moore got the best of a 1,476-player field to capture his first WSOP gold bracelet and a first-place prize of $230,626.

Jon Andlovec won the first-ever Super Seniors event back in 2015, topping a field of 1,533 runners to claim a $262,220 top prize. Some other notables possibly making an appearance this year include Barry Shulman, Perry Green, Ron Giles, and TJ Cloutier.
