Brooklyn Gino Busts, But Is All Smiles Anyway
We caught up on a hand just in time to see Gino Coburn, who told us proudly that he's "from Brooklyn baby," pushing his stack into the middle for an all-in. He was called by one opponent and Brooklyn Gino, holding 
, seemed to know what he was up against, asking "you got the nuts?"
His opponent answered by silently turning over his 
and Coburn was in bad shape. The board ran out 
and Gino was headed back to Brooklyn with a story to tell. As we hovered around the table waiting to ask the winner's name, Gino surprised us by coming right up and asking "what's this deal here, goin' up the blogs or somethin'?"
After informing him that the hand would indeed be featured on PokerNews, Gino Coburn only had one thing to say, telling us in typical Brooklyn style that "This is a great tournament here... I wanna thank the WSOP and everyone here for giving us old guys a chance to play with you young motherf---ers!" as he howled with laughter. Even in defeat, the competitors here at the Seniors Championship invariably come away loving every minute of their WSOP experience.
