Ryan Herold Looking to Keep the Momentum Going
Ryan Herold is in action here on Day 1b of the Parx Big Stax 1100 after having drove down from New York City.
Herold is a familiar face in tournaments in the area; in fact, he’s amassed more than $50,000 in lifetime earnings since the March 2017, which is when he notched his first tournament cash.
To date, his biggest score is $15,998 for winning a World Series of Poker Circuit gold ring at the Harrah’s Atlantic City stop. It was there he won Event #11: $600 NLH.
“It feels amazing. I’ve been working pretty hard the past couple of years,” he said after that win. “I still have a fulltime job. But I’m constantly working on my game. I play online all the time. I finally got it done. It feels good.”
Herold is a former cash-game player who transitioned to tournaments.
“I transitioned to the tournament scenes a of couple of years ago. This is my third year playing tournaments. It’s different and I love it so much better.”
As far as Parx is concerned, Herold has cashed the Big Stax 300 three times over the years, but he’s still looking for his big breakout score. Perhaps the Big Stax 1100 will be it.
