Ed Miller Goes Wire-to-Wire to Win Event #1 for $18,369

 

After a hard-fought battle on a tough final table, Ed Miller wins his first ever World Series of Poker Circuit ring and $18,369. Miller topped a field of 237 entries, taking home the bulk of the $78,210 prize pool.

 “I don’t play a whole lot of ring events so it’s pretty cool. I only come up here and down to Thunder Valley.” This is far from Miller’s biggest score, as the recreational tournament player has almost $500,000 in earnings with two six-figure cashes. “I’ve been married for 30 years this year, two awesome kids and I’m really blessed with an awesome family. Poker’s just for fun,” said a smiling Miller.

The final table was full of phenomenal players, but Miller went wire-to-wire to take down the whole thing. “I do zero training. I read people for a living – I’ve been in sales my whole life. So, reading people and getting lucky doesn’t hurt.”
