It was Day 1 of the Super Seniors event at the 2017 World Series of Poker. Sixty-six-year-old James Moore walked into the Rio with a strong sense of confidence. And why not? He won this tournament last year.
We made it a point to talk to Moore on that fateful day, and he quoted Stu Unger: "Anyone can win a tournament. Defending it is where it's at."
Two days later, Moore did just that.
Moore went back-to-back in the Super Seniors event on Tuesday, a feat not often seen at the World Series of Poker.
