If there’s a feel-good moment to come out of the 2021 World Series of Poker (WSOP) in its first few days it’s no doubt the elation George McBride felt when he cashed Event #4: $500 The Reunion No-Limit Hold'em.
The moment took place just after the money bubble had burst with McBride sitting with just three chips in front of him. Two of them totaled a paltry 6,000 in value, while the third wasn’t actually a tournament chip but rather a memorial chip he had received the day before in honor of a fellow firefighter who had passed away.
