51-year old “whippersnapper,” Rogers Patterson wins Seniors
Event at Harrah’s Tunica

Tourney draws unexpectedly large turnout with 67% increase
over last year’s event

TUNICA, MS – The past few years in poker have been marked by incredible
accomplishments by players just old enough to participate in the game.

During the 2006 WSOP a young Jeff Madsen took down two bracelets. In 2008, Peter
Eastgate became the youngest player to win the WSOP Main Event title, while in 2009
Joe Cada overtook the honor just a year old enough to play at the World Series.

51-year old Rogers Patterson followed in that trend Monday, January 25th after outlasting
a field of 409 players to win the 2009/2010 World Series of Poker Seniors Event at
Harrah’s Tunica.

Last year’s seniors event attracted 274 participants. This year’s numbers marked a 67%
increase.

The seniors event is open to players 50 years of age and over, making Patterson just a
year old enough to play.

Patterson, a database administrator from Bryant, AR, chipped his way through the
mammoth field of well-refined and experienced competitors to face a final table of his
elders.

Name                            Hometown                Seat        Chip Count
Ed Blevins                      Hartford City, IN        1        294,000
Russ Mollow                   Gillette, WY               2        623,000
John Payne                   Guntown, MS              3        200,000
Rogers Patterson          Bryant, AR                  4        277,000
Van Britt                       Snellville, GA                5        754,000
Michael Stephens         Godfrey, IL                  6        370,000
Roger Ledford              Atlanta, GA                  7        690,000
John Bovin                   Gladstone, MI              8        302,000
Alfred Bailey                 Little Rock, AR              9        558,000

Ninth Place
The final table began at 4:19 pm with blinds and antes at 5,000/10,000/20,000. After
losing much of his stack in a coin toss with A-J vs. the nines of John Bovin, John Payne
was all-in dark with 9-2. Russ Mollow made the call with A-K. Payne was the first
elimination of the night after failing to improve on the board. Ninth paid $1,383.

Eighth Place
Michael Stephens was the eighth place finisher. Stephens, who cashed in the 2006
WSOP Main event, took home $1,634.

Seventh Place
All-in with Q-9 off suit vs. the pocket 7’s of Michael Stephens, Alfred Bailey was eliminated
after Stephens spiked a 7 on the flop and blanks came on the turn and river. Bailey, a 65-
year old accountant from Little Rock, AR was left to figure in his $2,011 prize on this year’s
taxes.

Sixth Place
Roger “Georgia Boy” Ledford was eliminated after his 8’s failed to hold up vs.
his opponent’s A-J.  Ledford, a two-time event champion at the 2004 Mid-America
Classic earned $3,024.

Fifth Place
The remaining five players struck a deal. While details were not disclosed, the players
played on for the title of Harrah’s Tunica Seniors event champion.

Just a couple of hands later, Russell “Bonk” Muller was all-in with Qd-9d after the turn
against John Bovin’s As-Kc on a king-high board. A nine on the river wasn’t enough for
Muller and his day was finished.  Muller picked up $4,030 for fifth while Bovin, already
with nearly half of the chips in play, added more ammo to his arsenal.

Fourth Place
Bovin however, took a few big hits to his stack before taking a monster beat in a hand
where he raised pre-flop to 175,000. Bovin was re-raised by Patterson to 675,000 and
Bovin moved all-in.

After tanking a bit, Patterson made the call, turning over pocket 6’s.

All-in vs. the other big stack at the table, Bovin was glad not to see a coin flip as he
showed pocket 9’s.  

His relief faded when Patterson spiked a six on the flop. Blanks on the turn and river
ended Bovin’s run as Patterson had him covered. Fourth place officially paid $5,036.


Third Place
Edward Blevins was the third place finisher a hand after taking a beat from Donald Van
Britt, who caught a river queen to crack his pocket jacks. He was eliminated after moving
all-in with Q-3s. Third place paid $7,054 officially.

Second Place
Heads up action saw Patterson with a massive chip lead over Britt. Both players were
all-in the first hand of heads up play with Patterson’s A-9 vs. Britt’s K-9.  The jack-high
board was the end of it and Patterson was crowed the Harrah’s Tunica WSOP Circuit
Seniors champion. He officially earned $16,356 and a Circuit Event gold ring. Britt took
home an official payout of $9,835 for second.

“Fantastic, absolutely fantastic,” said Patterson about how he felt to win the tournament.

Despite his young age, Patterson seemed mature enough to handle his newly found
success pretty well.

“I’m surprised they didn’t card me,” joked Patterson. “I guess I look older than I am.”


Still to come are 14 more events and single-day non-ring $230 and $340 buy-in events
which begin at 4 pm and 7pm. The WSOP Circuit at Harrah’s Tunica runs through February
10th.
