MSU student wins seat in World Series of Poker

Poker has changed many people�s lives. It�s always been a popular game but now that it�s broadcast 24/7 it has ballooned into a game with more popularity than many sports played today.

Why? Because it's an 'every man's game.' No matter your experience level or knowledge of the game, whether you're a regular gym-goer or an artery-clogged couch potato, you can play poker because you don't have to be an athlete to play.

This is why everybody is getting the poker fever, and Wesley Wilburn, an MSU senior anthropology major is no different. Wesley will have a chance at becoming a millionaire when he competes in the World Series of Poker in July after he won an all-expense paid trip to Las Vegas to play in the tournament.

Wilburn said, �It's the biggest tournament in the world, and you get to play against the best players in the world. It's something I've always wanted to do.�

Wilburn plans to finish school and graduate in December but doesn't totally disregard the notion of taking up poker as a career, �It would take me winning a lot of money to take up playing poker full time.� But with a million dollars up for grabs, who knows?
