The defending 2019 champion Howard Mash saw off international competition from a 5,916-strong field to take the Seniors’ bracelet and $662,594. Mash, a financial advisor from Florida, had taken the chip lead all the way back in Day 2, and kept a vice-like grip on it that only slipped briefly during the mid-stages of play to take down his first WSOP bracelet.
As George Bernard Shaw - and Doyle Brunson - famously said, “We don’t stop playing because we grow old. We grow old because we stop playing,” and no one can accuse Senior runners of the latter.
