Oldcroft Retired

Level 23 : 12,000/24,000, 3,000 ante

Thomas Oldcroft -- who happens to be one of the older players left in the field -- was just now all in for his last 300,000 with {K-Clubs}{Q-Clubs} and up against Guillaume Darcourt's {6-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}.

"The old fart is all in!" cried Oldcroft, who we understand won his Main Event seat via a blackjack tournament. He then noted how his hand -- king and queen -- could be said to represent himself and his wife.

The board ran out {3-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{J-Clubs}{4-Spades}{6-Spades}, spelling the end of Oldcroft's run. "I've had the time of my life," he said as he rose to shake his tablemates' hands before departing. Darcourt now has 1.68 million.
