Ward Depends on the River

No one is having more fun in the $300 Seniors Event than Steven Ward.

If there was an award for best dressed, Ward would easily win with his jacket sporting homemade sponsorship patches from Luby's and Depends.

Ward is currently trying to spin a short stack and make it into the money.

On blinds of 2,000/4,000/4,000, Sean Spector opened to 9,000 from UTG. Ward moved all-in for 29,500 from the hijack. Spector didn't like it but made the call when action folded back around.

Ward: A♠Q♦ (all-in)
Spector: 4♣4♦
Board: K♦6♦5♣9♣Q♣

Ward began to get out of his seat as Spector's fours held on the flop and turn. The Q♣ river returned Ward to his seat. Ward's dream of making the money and walking away with the trophy plays on.

17 players remain. Players are slowly approaching the money bubble. 9 players will finish in the money with $590 set as the min cash and nearly $6,000 for 1st place!
