Golden Oldies
With the Brasilia Room filled to the brim with several of poker's young guns, two of the game's founding fathers are duking it out at the same table.
World Series of Poker icon T.J. Cloutier and Full Tilt Poker computer programmer Steve Brecher recently played a small pot, with Brecher raising preflop and taking it down with a c-bet, but their conversation understandably focused on the age discrepancy between themselves and the field.
"I bet big and pushed him off, so I showed the deuce-seven offsuit for no pair," said Cloutier, speaking of a prior incident in which a younger player dared to disrespect the living legend. "Told him, 'Listen here whippersnapper, I've forgotten more about poker than you'll ever know...' After that the kid never said another word."
