Poker Legends Luske and Farha Deep in WSOP Super Seniors Event

After drawing 3,338 entries, Event #64: $1,000 Super Seniors is down to just 134 players as Day 3 got underway at 11:00 a.m. local time—featuring a pair of poker legends still in contention.

Three-time bracelet winner and 2003 WSOP Main Event runner-up Sammy Farha enters the day 70th in chips, hoping to add to his storied career. But leading the pack is another iconic figure, Marcel Luske, who tops the leaderboard as the field battles toward a champion.

Although Luske has yet to capture a WSOP gold bracelet, the “Flying Dutchman” has amassed over $5 million in live tournament earnings. His most notable result came in the 2004 WSOP Main Event, where he finished 10th for $373,000 just missing the official final table.

Farha, meanwhile, is a three-time bracelet winner and one of the most recognizable figures from the poker boom era. He claimed his first bracelet in 1996, followed by wins in 2006 and 2010. Farha became a household name after his iconic runner-up finish to Chris Moneymaker in the 2003 Main Event. Known for his smooth demeanor, signature unlit cigarette, and charismatic table presence, Farha was a staple on classic shows like High Stakes Poker and Poker After Dark.

At the time of publication, both Luske and Farha remain in contention, each having secured a payout of $3,031 as they chase the top prize of $356,494.
