Haute Headgear Highlighting Senior Event

Amarillo Slim Preston and His Cowboy Hat
Amarillo Slim Preston and His Cowboy Hat

With nearly 4,000 players to monitor in the beginning stages of this Seniors Championship, the interesting hats worn by many players have repeatedly caught our eye.

Many seniors are sporting the classic cowboy hat, no doubt influenced by the poker playing attire of their heyday. Other seniors seem to prefer the simple elegance of the fedora, while baseball caps of all teams and colors are also a popular choice.

We spotted a lady with a bright green cowboy hat adorned with the {10-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}{A-Diamonds} and stamped with dollar signs for good luck. One player, who PETA would be happy to know busted early on in the day, was wearing an alligator skin hat in addition to his snakeskin boots. Another was seen wearing a simple Superman logo hat, while hometown casino hats are also being noticed.

For whatever reason, the seniors here at this year's WSOP Seniors Tournament seem to be using their heads to stand out along with their poker hands.
