In poker, the old adage is, all you need is a chip and a chair, and you have a chance.
Dash Dudley can now confirm that.
Dudley, a Michigan State wrestler-turned-poker pro, collected his third career bracelet Thursday night when he rallied from the shortest of chip stacks all the way to the title — and a $301,396 payday — in the 62nd event of the World Series of Poker's summer circuit in Las Vegas.
Dudley, 36, won the $1,500 buy-in No-Limit Hold'em tournament despite beginning play Thursday in last place among the 20 remaining competitors.
