Freddie Ellis Came to Play
Level 1
: 400/800, 100 ante
Back in 2009, a 74-year-old real estate broker from Brooklyn, New York, came to Las Vegas to play the World Series of Poker. It was the first WSOP for the former singer who entered one event, the $10,000 Seven-Card Stud Championship.
Ellis went on to win the tournament after beating another legend - Eric Drache - heads-up, solidifying his name to be forever remembered at the WSOP. Ellis' playing against a tough table with Brian Hastings and Cory Zeidman, but it seems like the 79-year-old has not lost his moves.
