An Old Man's Game?
Cliff Josephy
Table 4 is full of dangerous players, but it's been the most light-hearted and talkative table in today's remaining field. In between the two most recent hands, a discussion emerges about the merits of doing research on one's tablemates prior to the start of play. Australia's Mitchell Watson says he gets by with a little help from his friends.
"I don't even need to Google the table," Watson says. "I wake up, and my friends have already given me all the information. They told me to watch out for you," he says, pointing to Cliff Josephy.
"Me?" Josephy seems surprised.
Dietrich Fast can't resist. "But he's...so old. Why would we...?" he trails off.
"Look at all that gray," Chris Klodnicki adds, joining the fun.
The silver-topped Josephy is a good sport about it all. "I play the Seniors Event," he laughs.
"The Seniors?" Fast asks. "Or the Super Seniors?"
