Jack Ury is 96 years of age and the oldest participant in WSOP 2009. This is the third time he takes part in the World Series of Poker and he has been playing poker since 1953. Jack Ury was probably the most appriciated participant the day he took part as he received standing ovations many times.
Jack Ury was born in Indiana, USA, 96 years ago. He started playing poker 1953 and has since then loved the game. WSOP 2009 is the third WSOP he takes part in and he really knows how to play poker even though he cant see or hear so well any more. When Jack Ury knocked out a player with a higher full house (three 7's & two 6's vs three 6's & two 7's) the crowd went crazy and started clapping their hands. But unfortuntaly, he was knocked out later on in the tournament. But after that he was knocked out of the tournament, he received standing ovantions from everyone he passed as he left the casino in his wheelchair.
