With the Seniors Championship serving as the proverbial Main Event for many of today's competitors, the PokerNews team has been asked to send some messages to the readers at home.

Richard "Dick" Harwood told us that he has many people reading the updates back home in Granada Hills, California. The retired TV and movie director wanted his friends and family to know that he is thinking of them today, as he tries to capture a WSOP gold bracelet. He also wanted to say hello to to the “Wednesday Lunch Guys” and made sure we added “Hello Ragu!” Lastly, he just added that he wanted to give a shout out to the Don Porter Golf Group.

Craig Koch wanted to send his love to his family and let them know that “when and if my run ends, I will be calling you all as soon as possible.”

Charles Cohen wanted his friends back in New York to know that “I’ve had the greatest time here” and that this “whole experience is just a trip!”

James Jewell told us that he wants to “thank his friends and family for all of their support” and that despite his short stack, “he is not giving up!”

James Hess sends “a big shoutout to the Valley Crew” and added that he’s “diggin’ his family enjoying the moment!” Hess also wanted to make sure that his father, currently living in South Africa, knows that he has been in James' heart throughout the entire tournament, inspiring him to play his best in honor of "Dad."

Walter Browne wanted his supporters to know that "If I win the WSOP Seniors Championship, I'm going to play the Seniors World Championship and try to make history!"

For our remaining ten players, reaching this WSOP final table is the pinnacle of their poker playing lives. Every one of them wanted to make sure that the people they love back home know how much their support truly means.
