Tim Vance is living the dream. The 53-year-old contractor and recreational poker player from the St. Louis, Missouri, area won a seat to the 2015 World Series of Poker Main Event through a $550 mega satellite on site at the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino last week, making it through the first day of the tournament and bagging a stack of 54,725 in chips.
Of course, Vance has lived this dream before. He won a seat to the 2006 WSOP Main Event through a Frequent Players Points satellite on PokerStars.
