First-time online poker player has the best reaction to winning $188,214 in World Series event

Ron McMillen had quite a first-time experience playing poker online.

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) [who] 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!
