The $600 NLH Seniors Championship offered a $50K GTD to players 50 years of age and older, and 321 wise folks flocked to the felt to create a prize pool of $163,710 paid out to the top 41 finishers.

At the end of it, 2004 WSOP Main Event champion Greg Raymer claimed the title following a three-way deal which saw him taking home $32,000. “Fossilman” had previously won a $200 tournament at Resort’s World only a few days prior and quickly found himself in the winner’s circle once again.

Raymer chose pocket eights as the hand for his winner photo – the same hand he defeated David Williams with when he won the 2004 WSOP Main Event for $5,000,000.
