Pierre Neuville "Too Old For Seven-Deuce"
Level 16
: 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
Team PokerStars Pro Pierre Neuville is living proof it is never too late to take up the game, at 69-years young he is almost always the most senior player in an EPT field, as has been the case here in Copenhagen. Although age shouldn't stop you playing poker it apparently prevents you from playing seven-deuce.
Juha Lauttamus opened to 8,400 from the button and it was up to Neuville to act. He reached for chips and three-bet from the small blind to 21,600. Malki Yaron Zeev folded his big blind and Lauttamus followed suit.
"Show the bluff," requested Zeev. "Seven-deuce?"
"I'm too old for playing seven-deuce," replied Neuville, "I could probably be your grandfather!"
