At 68 years young, poker pro T.J. Cloutier may be no spring chicken. Hell, he's been around so long that the J-9 of clubs is named after him. However, last night at the Scotty Nguyen Poker Challenge IV in Tulsa, Okla., Cloutier proved once again that he deserves to be among the legends of the game.

Not only did Cloutier best a final table that included the tournaments namesake, Scotty Nguyen (we'd hate to assume that people would make the connection for themselves), and poker pros Gavin Smith and Bill Edler, but he also won his 60th major poker tournament and pushed his career winnings up over the $9 million mark.

Cloutier's illustrious career started when he won his first poker tournament for $43,ooo back in April 1983 and has stretched over three decades through the $240,560 he won for winning yesterday. The six-time WSOP bracelet winner's largest career cash came at the 2000 WSOP Main Event for $896,500. He is also the only person in WSOP history to win all three types of Omaha events.

Oh, and sidenote to Scotty Nguyen: Tulsa? Really? We're not sayin', we're just sayin'.
