Does anyone know the age of the oldest first time participant in the wsop. I will be 80 when I play my first event next year and while I doubt that will be the record I am wondering what is?

You're good. Eugene Calden was the oldest first timer at the age of 100. In 2023.
He is also the oldest person ever playing a WSOP Main Event

I guess you won't be the oldest, but I'm sure that you'll do the rest of US poker playing geezers and geezerettes proud. 🙂

That is fantastic! Thank you for sharing it. ♥️
 
You've got a supporter here already! At 80 years old, making your WSOP debut is truly admirable. I hope you enjoy the experience, have a great run, and then come back to the forum to tell us how it went. Good luck at the tables!

What are you talking about?!?! Of course you can set some records.
A few I can think of off the top of my head.. .
First time WSOP player cashes in first bracelet event he plays in.
First time WSOP player final tables the Monster Stack.
First time WSOP player at 80yrs. young, takes 2nd place in the WSOP Super Senior's event (I'm hoping to play this one next year).
