Respect Your Elders

Some of the following was overhead at 95-year-old Jack Ury's table:

"Back in the day when I used to come to Vegas, there was only 20,000 to 30,000 people here."

"I used to play with Johnny Chan and Doyle Brunson. I did. I've played so much with Johnny."

"Do you know what my nickname used to be? 'Snake-bit,' 'cause whenever I lose, I only lose on the river."
