One of the all-time greats of seven-card stud has entered the field: Rodney "Rod" Pardey Sr. Now, he might not ring a bell with all the young whippersnappers frantically F5'ing our page, but Pardey has been crushing stud before a lot of the current generation of stars were even born.
Pardey has won two bracelets in this game, which date all the way back in 1991 and 1994. His lifetime winnings exceed $700,000 with nearly every cash made in this game. In 2015, Pardey made a rare foray into no-limit hold'em and finished second in the Super Seniors Event, cashing $162,100. Pardey's son Rod Pardey Jr. is also playing today.
