71 Year Old Boots Takes Home Poker Victory
April 10, 2009
Most pensioners play cards down at their local working mens club or card room, placing tiny wagers if any but not this pensioner.
Boots Batson developed a liking for Texas Hold’em while on a visit to the Golden Nugget Casino, Las Vegas.
Batson developed a strong interest in the game, leaving behind all of her previous favourites, taking up taxas hold’em poker as her preferred game.
Batson found joy as she entered into a ladies only $1,000 buy in no limit poker tournament on an unexpected visit to Las Vegas.
Boots admitted that she isn’t the best poker player in the world, saying she likes to play the game as it keeps her sharp of mind.
Her skills aren’t totally useless as this victory shows but other players in the tournament picked up on the lack of cutting edge thought that you see in many of the high level tournaments these days.
One fellow poker player said
She is a pistol
An absolutely sweet lady who is a good player
Her ability to do well despite her dyslexia is amazing
Batson has won a seat into the main event for the World Series of Poker due to winning the tournament, something which she was going to take a back seat from due to the $10,000 buy in to enter.
We would like to congratulate Boots on her victory and hope to see her at the final table in the main event!
