    pretty sure they said was in his early 50s

    I believe Ensan is 55.

    I'll always have this moment: https://www.pokernews.com/tours/wsop...ips.296716.htm

    I took 20% of his stack in this straightforward hand, and he couldn't have been nicer about it. He smiled, patted me on the back, said, "Nice hand, friend", and got back to doing the color-up.

    The "nice hand, friend" didn't seem to be sarcastic or insincere, either. It seemed to be more in the, "You needed this badly and got dealt the better hand, so good for you" sort of way. He didn't seem the slightest bit fazed. Playing with him throughout the day, he seemed very easygoing.

    Anyway, yeah, this might be good for poker, as it might be encouraging to middle-aged male recs who will feel like they will actually have a shot against the young hotshot pros.

    Of course, the same would have been accomplished if I had won it...

    im sure quite a few of the absolutely dozens of the people who actually pay attention to poker in 2019 will be deeply moved by his victory.

    Alex was holding a Scottish flag during his bustout interview with the luscious Kara Scott.

    Would fully understand if he was an American clutching onto another nation's flag. But Canada is a decent & respected country?

    The 32-year-old Livingston was the only player not wearing sunglasses, but he did sport a Cabot Links sweatshirt, and a Nova Scotia flag hung over the rail behind him. Dozens of his fans chanted “rum and chess” every time Livingston won a hand (his Twitter handle is @rumnchess).

    Oh it looked Scottish through my tired eyes.

    And the name Alex Livingston feels Scottish as fuck. There's even a football club called Livingston FC who play in the same league as Celtic & Rangers.
