Level 7 : 300/600, 75 ante

Any time a tournament is held with a special restriction (such as this Seniors event, or the Ladies event being held in the same room), there will always be players who push their luck.

In this case, Dimitriy Khavko has decided to play in the Seniors event, despite not appearing a day over 30 years old.

Khavko recently tangled with James Woods, with the actor and poker enthusiast scoring a fortunate double when he made Broadway on the river. Woods had brought big slick to battle with his {A-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}, and he was racing against Khavko's {5-Clubs}{5-Spades}.

The board ran clean for the young Khavko through the turn, coming {8-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{j-Spades}, but just as Woods was standing to make his exit, the river brought the {q-Clubs} to the table to complete his straight.

Woods fortune was short-lived though, and soon afterward he strode briskly toward the exit while remarking that his opponent had only called him down after a third player in the hand showed his cards.
