Imagine playing in your first-ever World Series of Poker Main Event. Now imagine you're fortunate enough to make a deep run into the money. Then you somehow turn a Royal Flush to eliminate a tough pro. Sounds like a poker fairy tale, doesn't it?
Well that happens to be a true story playing out in the 2015 WSOP Main Event, one that belongs to an insurance salesman from Lancaster, Ohio named Alan Wentz. Like so many players who entered the Main Event, Wentz isn't a poker pro, but rather an avid player with a day job.
