his the board hard. With the 
spread across the table, Goldberg's four kings were far and away the best hand and he built his stack to a healthy 5,250.
Staying true to the form of his cartoon counterpart, Tim 'Underdog" LaRoache is battling through Day 1 with a short stack of only 1,300 or so chips. While the real deal used to remind viewers that "There's no need to fear, Underdog is here!" LaRoache might have plenty to fear if he doesn't start making moves soon.
With the blinds escalating every hour and his stack dwindling quickly, the Senior Championship's resident underdog may be vanquished before the dinner break.
Jack Effel has just informed us that they found the oldest player in the field -- 87-year-old Claude Smithern from Palm Springs, California.
Smithern was asked to give a few words, to which he said, "I have a last longer bet - it's between me and the chips, but I think I'm gonna win." The crowd laughed and applauded.
Smithern is currently sitting with 1,275.

Bruce Buffer has been eliminated early on today. We caught him in action over in the Amazon room where he was the short stack at his table. A player from middle position raised to 250 preflop and another player called. Buffer move all in from the small blind for his remaining 550 chips.

Tournament Director Jack Effel just made an announcement that is sure to be a source of pride for every senior who made the journey to Las Vegas for this WSOP Seniors Championship.
With more than 3,700 entrants for this Day 1, a number which is sure to grow even higher with registration still open, today marks what Effel called "the largest single-day opening field in the history of the World Series of Poker, and perhaps in of the game itself." For the eventual champion of this event, knowing that they successfully navigated a record-setting field will be almost as sweet as the gold bracelet.
