Kelly Samson has been playing poker since he turned 12 and he's now 53, so it's safe to say he's got some experience under his belt. Mostly a high stakes cash game player, Samson scored the biggest tournament cash of his career back in November, finishing second in a $1,500 event at the Doyle Brunson Five Diamond World Poker Classic here in Vegas, earning a $100,000 payday. When he's not playing poker, Samson is a self-employed landlord who calls Las Vegas home.
