Ron McMillen had quite a first-time experience playing poker online.
The WSOP (World Series of Poker) is the most prestigious poker event in the World. The date of origin goes back to the 1970s and has continued on ever since. If a player wins an event they receive a World Series of Poker Bracelet which is one of the most sought after poker trophies in the world. The World Series of Poker is still Happening!

The 51st installment of the tournament was set to begin on May 26 at the Rio All.
In the 2020 World Series of Poker online event No. 9 — a $1,000 no-limit hold ’em 6-max tournament — he finished first, winning $188,214 and a bracelet. And he reacted as he should have (see below), with a celebration.
As Poker News reports, this isn’t McMillen’s first poker experience — he’s “a regular on the Mid-States Poker Tour (MSPT) actually came fairly close to winning a bracelet in the past on a couple of occasions.”
But as for online, which can be an entirely different ballgame? First time. And he walked away a winner. Amazing!
