47-Year Old Day Trader Wins WSOP Seat Online

Bryan Awai, 47, from Valrico, Florida won a sponsored seat in the World Series of Poker main event by playing in an online poker tournament. He now has a chance to win a cool $10,000,000 when the competition wraps up on July 15.

Mr. Awai picked up poker at an early age and has been playing regularly for the last ten years. His recent online poker tournament victory still came as a surprise. �I couldn�t believe it, to play in the World Series of Poker has been a life long dream of mine,� said Mr. Awai.

Initially 700 people competed for the WSOP main event seat by participating in a leader board competition open to all players who signed up at Gaming Club Poker via PokerListings. 122 players reached the final, but Mr. Awai played the best poker and was able to claim the first place prize worth approximately $12,500.
