We’d like to give a big, well-deserved “Attaboy!” to Regular Jim Traber!
Over the weekend, the local sports radio host – who nearly died at a poker table a few years ago – made a gallant run for a coveted World Series of Poker bracelet during the $1,000 buy-in Seniors No-Limit Hold'em Championship in Las Vegas.
Regular Jim’s attempt to bring home some jewelry was closely monitored by The Sports Animal’s Sam Humphreys, one of the metro’s foremost nepo-babies, on X. He documented the drama online with the same precision his dad might use for an old Masters update.

Although Regular Jim was the big stack with only 100 players left, he took a really bad beat not too long after Sam’s update. Apparently, he flopped a set with his pocket Jacks but was rivered by a guy holding K-Q, taking a huge bite out of his chip stack.
