Two screens in the tournament area now show some horse racing and quite some of our remaining participants seem to have been betting on exactly that. We can hear a lot of cheers, yells and laughter. Let's see who picks up some extra cash. They even overtake the "player out" yells from the dealers!
It appears that we do have eight ladies left in this Seniors Championship and another one just lost her final all in showdown, ironically with 
against 
. The biggest stacks of those remaining belongs to Marcia Topp.

The Seniors Championship may have a reputation, and deservedly so, for being friendly and good natured, but the players are in the money now and there is a serious payday awaiting the eventual winner, so there are a few sticklers for rules making sure everything is above board.
A player announced raise and then appeared to put out chips in two motions. The player in the big blind asked if that wasn’t a string bet and the floor was called. It was indeed ruled a string bet and a min-raise was declared the legal bet. The player in the big blind was demonstrating how the other player had put out his chips and another player piped up, “Isn’t that a call?”
The player quickly pulled back the calling chips and the dealer let it slide and no more was said. The big blind finally looked at his cards and folded to be greeted by some eye rolling from a couple of players.
Tanya Gawarecki just flat called a raise with pocket kings and another player behind called as well to see a three-way flop 
. The opponent bet and Gawarecki moved all in, a reluctant call with pocket nines followed and both further community cards bricked.
Marcia Topp doubled up as well. In a battle of the blinds, she three-bet shoved for 122,000 chips with 
and got called by pocket fours. The 
board saw her on the rise and the now crippld opponent busted two hands later. "Ace queen has been good to me, except for the one time earlier today," Topp said before stacking up the chips with a smile on the face.

Milton Jaffee's son Jared is a well-known pro who has shined on several of poker's most prestigious stages, as his $1,655,465 in reported live earnings can attest.
For the last two days though, Jared was reduced to the role of railbird, sweating his father's action as Milton went deep in the Seniors Championship.
Jared was on hand throughout the day to offer support and talk his father through rundowns of recent hands, and while Milton's run recently ended with a 181st place finish for a $2,986 score, it was clear that skill on the felt runs strong in the Jaffee family.

Simon “Aces” Trumper was getting short and open shoved from the button into the big blind, who he described as the tightest player on the table. The player in the big blind duly called with
