Ray Medlin, Winner of Event #8
Ray Medlin has just won his very first WSOP Circuit ring by taking down Event #8: $250 No-Limit Hold’em Turbo after outlasting 144 entrants.
When talking about his victory, Medlin stayed humble.
“I’m surprised. I don’t consider myself a pro. I got extremely lucky to get this.”
Medlin started the final table as the chip leader, however it wasn’t all smooth. His final table run was a roller-coaster ride, but he still managed to close it out.
“I was the largest stack coming in to the final table, then got down to the shortest stack a couple of times. It was ups and downs.”
After his victory, Medlin didn’t waste any time. Indeed, he directly took a seat in Event #9, $400 Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better.
