Angle Ousted, Seniors Event Will Crown New Champion
We missed the action but caught Harold Angle all-in with his 
against the 
held by Mary Ann Trumbull. The final board was scrambled by the dealer before we could record it, but according to Trumbull the flop came 
followed by two cards she couldn't remember.
Harold Angle fought valiantly to defend his title of Seniors Champion, but in the end his short-stack was added to a competitors, one with her sights set on accomplishing what Angle did just one year ago.

Sportsmanship On Display At Senior's Championship
Livello 7
: 150/300, 25 ante
We witnessed a hand recently that, in our humble estimation, captured perfectly what the Seniors Championship is really all about.
After the flop fell 
, Jim Thompson called the all-in of a women sitting in the next seat. Thompson tabled his 
for top pair, top kicker and the nut flush draw to boot. The women held 
for two-pair and it was up to the dealer to decide both player's fates.
When the 
arrived on the turn, Thompson had made his flush and was sitting pretty. The on the turn was a brick for his opponent and she was eliminated from contention.
While the flush over two-pair confrontation was not a rarity in poker terms, what happened next was. Thompson immediately stood up after the hand was over and went to shake the fallen player's hand, even giving her a hug when it was all said and done. Both he and the women were sincere in their offerings of "good game" and "good luck to you," and in a modern poker world which has become increasingly cutthroat, this display of old fashioned sportsmanship was refreshing to say the least.
Smithern's Stack Squandered Away
Livello 8
: 200/400, 50 ante
Our token elder has just made his exit.
With just a several hundred left, Claude Smithern limped from middle position and was accompanied by both the small and big blind.
Everyone checked the 
flop. When the 
came on the turn, the big blind led out for 300 and both Smithern and the small blind called.
The river came and it was checked down. Smithern showed 
for ace-high and his opponent showed 
for the bottom-end of the straight.
With just 100 left, Smithern was anted down to his last 25 and he chose not to look at his hand.
A player called from early position and the player on the button raised to 1300. The limper called.
Both players checked down to the river on the 
and the original limper went all-in. The button folded and the bettor revealed 
for a straight. Smithern would need exactly 
to claim the pot, but he revealed , ending his tournament life.
