Two Two Pairs for Two Oldest Players

Dennis Phillips moved all in on the turn of a board reading {a-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{5-Hearts}, and Doyle Brunson was happy to call him with two pair. But the Godfather discovered that his {a-Spades}{3-Diamonds} had been out-turned by Phillips' {a-Hearts}{5-Clubs}. The {9-Clubs} on the river changed nothing, and Phillips doubled up.

The two have been moved to the feature table now that Jonathan Duhamel and Antonio Esfandiari are done playing. They are the elder statesmen of the event. Brunson is the oldest player at 77, and Phillips is second, just edging out Barry Greenstein.
