"You're All Playing for Second"

Level 2 : 100/200, 0 ante
91 years young. Ellen Deeb
91 years young. Ellen Deeb

Jack Effel just took a moment to introduce a special player in the Main Event, who happens to be the oldest player registered in the 2011 Main Event. We're taking about 91-year old Ellen "Gram" Deeb. You might recognize the Ellen's last name, and in case you're wondering . . . yes, that is Shaun Deeb's grandmother. From what we understand, Deeb was sweet enough to buy his grandma's way into the Main Event, proving you're never too old to take a shot at poker's biggest title.

"You're all playing for second," Deeb joked when Effel asked if there was anything she'd like to add.
