97 year old man makes day 3

We arrived to find Jack Ury, at 97 years old the most senior player in the tournament by a long way, all in for his last 4,700 in the big blind position. His opponent was on the button.
Mr. Button: [3h9s
Ury: [kskc
Board: [kd2djc8h7d
"Did I win?" asked Ury, before cackling, "Ahh ha ha ha!" when he was informed that he had indeed more than doubled.

lol, also; major props to this guys supportive family. I see them fastly pushing him around the rio on breaks getting him to the bathroom, food, etc. seems like a great man and they're greatly gonna miss him when he passes.

gl Jack!!!!!! u da man!

Re: 97 year old man makes day 3

Props to him and all, but man this would be an annoying guy to have at your table. Ultra slow, doesn't understand when he wins. I don't know the full extent of this since obviously it's long days with many hands (anyone who may have played with him, feel free to offer your insight), but every hand I'm seen/heard reported of him is kind of messy.

I'm all for him playing, and he'll likely get some serious TV time since he made it this far (based on last year's coverage). The problem is that this was all lighthearted last year when he slowrolled the guy, all fun and games in the crazy shenanigans of Day 1, but if he goes any further I expect some pros to be super pissed off.

Of course, I say this because I would expect to lose my patience if playing. Since I'm not playing, I couldn't give a crap and hope he makes the November 9

Just proof if you are older than dirt you are allowed to slowroll.

Re: 97 year old man makes day 3

people don't mind this slowroll because the man is old, but if a younger punk would do this, they would jump through the roof.

Jack Ury not to be underestimated
