‘Jumping’ Jack Ury passed away a couple of years ago at the ripe ol’ age of 97. He was a great character in the world of poker and a friend to many. Perhaps his greatest ever moment came just a year before his death when he ‘slow rolled’ a cocksure opponent in the shape of Stephen Friedlander.
As the hand was being played, it looked as though the old-timer was about to lose. The commentators wrote off Ury. But Jack had an ace up his sleeve. Not literally – that’d be cheating. He just had a killer hand.
It was the 2009 World Series of Poker Main Event and no one saw the 96 year-old doing what he did there. This is awesome.
This is a totally classic moment… The guy gets OWNED! Check it out:
