Poker Hall of Famer Crandell Addington Reveals Secrets from Early Days of WSOP

Do you know who holds the record for most World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event final tables? Hint: this player has been at the final table an incredible seven times.

Granted, those appearances came back in the 1970s when the WSOP was much smaller than it is today, but the explosion in poker's popularity has all but ensured Crandall Addington maintains the record in perpetuity.

The 81-year-old Addington, born June 2, 1938, was recently a guest on the PokerNews Podcast. One of the few remaining Texas road gamblers, Addington has all but disappeared from the poker landscape.
