Jack Ury, 97, continues in the WSOP 2010 Main Event

July 12th, 2010 Posted in HighStakesNews.com

We’ve got a real steel grandpa in the WSOP 2010 Main Event! Jack Ury who was born in Indiana 97 years ago made it through the first two days and will continue to the third tournament day.


On 2+2 forum Ury’s family receives a lot of praise. The nick “fire_sqaud” reports having seen how the family pushes him in a wheelchair all around Rio - to the toilet, to eat during the tournament breaks and so on. Ury, who found poker in 1953, amused the audience on purpose or unintentionally by taking more than doubles with his small stack.

From the big blind Ury went all-in with his king pair and asked - as the board was K2J87 -“Did I win?” and laughed merrily as his opponent was holding 3h-9s. Perhaps the most senior player of the tournament is slightly senile or maybe he just presents the stereotype of a Vegas steel papa?
