When it comes time to retire, some men find a spot in their easy chair and relax. Others hit the links and play as much golf as they can. Jaime Anteneloff did something else. He learned to play poker. After a lifetime of working in South America and Central America, Anteneloff learned to play poker at the age of 64.

He entered the world of poker at a time it was undergoing its revolution. While there were a lot of news faces at the poker table, most of them were young guns. Anteneloff's face was already weathered and showing the effects of 64 years of living. Anteneloff joked that most of the seasoned pros looked at him like he was a little fish swimming in the wrong body of water. Still, life experience can do a lot for a guy.

In the first season of the World Poker Tour, Anteneloff entered the Costa Rica Classic and made it all the way to the final table. Sitting with well-known player Dewey Tomko, Anteneloff finished in fifth place, earning more than $15,000.
