Re: 97 year old man makes day 3

Good for him...I imagine no matter how it pans out he's really enjoying himself.And if i live that long wich is doubtful having a good time is all id hope for either.
And ESPN you can only imagine they have a camera stuck up his ass wich is great as his coverage will be excellent fish bait.
I e "if he can so can i"

Let us know when you figure out why they call Dan Harrington 'Action Dan'.

Go Jack!

Re: 97 year old man makes day 3

Gavin Smith was saying on PokerRoad that Chris Bell (i think) was complaining that Ury shouldn't be allowed to play. He's painfully slow.

I guess you're saying you were trying to warn him off? Thats not how it looks at all. After reading your further explanation I'm pretty sure you were irritated at all the delays and preflop action ("I almost called the floor") and then when he just put out 1k instead of his whole stack on the flop, you verbally tried to guilt him into committing to what he had stated he wanted to do preflop.

Thats cool man, eye doctors have to make a living somehow I guess.
Sorry, spent all day at the beach and didn't feel like searching around for the link.

Here, again, is how that hand went down. ESPN edited out the painful first 5 minutes or so:


For now, here's what I wrote on July 7th after busting late on Day 2:

About 15 min into level 6 at 200/400-50 I get into the hand with Jack Ury that is reported on Pokernews and should be on ESPN. I raise EP with 67hh to 1100. Jack doesn't really know what is going on- he can't seem to hear, he can't seem to see, and he can't follow the action. How he got to day 2 I don't know. After I raise he throws out 4 black chips, as if he is limping. The dealer informs him (several times) that the pots been raised and he can't limp. He then says "well, I just go all-in" Obviously he can't do that either, so he ends up calling.

Before the hand started I think he had about 8-9k and I was sitting around 27k or so. The flop comes 6-6-7 and now I have mixed feelings cause I'm gonna be the bad guy who busts the old man. Oh well, his chips will really look good in my stack. He fires out 1k, and then I say "Hey Jack- lets just go all in- you wanted to go all in before the flop right?" Now, I'm not sure how this really came off. I assume that if I did this to any of you that you would take it in stride and fold most holdings. I felt like I was really taking advantage of him. Not respecting my elders. So, I shove, and then he takes a few seconds and gets his chips together to call. As soon as I see he's actually committed I table my cards and the table gasps. Wow. Flopped the boat on the old dude- Seat nine looks at me and says "You had to be the one"

Now I'm not even paying attention to Jack's cards because as far as I'm concerned, I'm a total lock. But I hear him mutter under his 96 year old breath-- "I think your in trouble" as he table pocket 7's for a bigger boat. OMG. The table explodes and I just have to laugh to myself eventually because a spot this sick just doesn't come around very often. At least he didn't stack me!

ya know, I think I'd enjoy watching Jack come out dressed as a MMA fighter instead of the crybaby
