Oren on a Whirlwind Trip to Play the Main Event

Paul Oren wasn't planning on playing the Main Event this year. He wasn't even planning on coming to the World Series of Poker this summer. He sits with over double starting stack on Day 2.

"I had FOMO watching my friend Scott Bohlman run deep in the 50k. I told my girlfriend I'm heading out there," said Oren.

The trip wasn't an easy one, though.

"I woke up in Lisbon on July 4th. I saw 32 straight hours of daylight that day." Oren flew from Lisbon to Dublin to Chicago to Vegas. After dealing with cancellations and delays, he hit the final hurdle in Chicago.

"They lost our luggage. Portugal told us they would push it through. I didn't have time to go home, so I just took a backpack and the clothes on my back," shared Oren. "Playing in the Main Event was a dream, I wasn't planning on it. I won the last $580 satellite."

Oren fought his way to get here, he'll try and run as deep as possible to keep the story alive.
