I wasn’t planning to play the 2015 World Series of Poker $10,000 Main Event. I had the opportunity to play two years ago — people were more than willing to buy action after I won a gold bracelet — but I thought it was a one-time thing. I was wrong.
Midway through the summer, enough players again expressed interest in buying action that I decided to play the “Big One” for the second time. I joined the masses on Monday for Day 1c which drew a single-flight Main Event record with 3,963 players, arriving early to take my seat in the Black Section of the Pavilion Room.
