Benjamin played digital poker on a Princess Cruise ship casino in 2011

He was just 14 months old, probably setting the world record for youngest kid to ever play a hand of poker in a real casino.

Notice he's holding a card in his right hand. You use that card to more easily press the options on the screen.

He had 99 here and the board was 8s3s4d. He bet the flop and was called by the guy to his direct left. Then he bet the turn of a jack, and his opponent folded, and he won the pot.

The game was 1/2. There were like 4 players on the flop, but everyone else but that one guy folded.

The opponent looked really pissed off the whole time.

I asked him, "What's your problem? Can't take losing to a baby?"

He didn't answer me.

This was the only hand Benjamin played, and it was a coincidence he got dealt a strong hand like 99.

I redacted Benjamin's face to protect the innocent.

For the occasion, he was wearing an outfit I wore in 1972, which my mom inexplicably saved.

How about that time when a kid played high stakes poker against you on a cruise? And you layer played against him at the WSOP. Not heard that story in about 3 days!

If Druff followed through with his plan of indexing topics and time in episodes, you'd know that story was told in PFA Radio episodes 67, 87, 112, 113, 116, 201 and 299.

Did you know his Dad won a bracelet.

Having experienced poker on princess cruise ships multiple times I can say as a subject matter expert Ben was in the top 3 of players at the table.

So the statute of limitations for "one player to the hand" is 7 years?

When you spend enough time in poker rooms, you learn that the final and overriding rule of the house is that the floor supervisor has the final say (regardless of how many other rules he/she ignores).
