Ryan Nelson Enters First-Ever WSOP Event

Ryan Nelson is from the Midwestern United States in Iowa and has chipped up very nicely so far in the first flight. He hasn't had any big hands but lots of small ball pots and is taking them down consistently in the first two levels of play.

Nelson got to his first-ever WSOP event through a contest that was put on by OPMH E-liquid. He won a free entry into this event courtesy of Eddy LeBlanc, part owner of the company, who has a WSOP Circuit ring and almost $200,000 in career WSOP earnings. The company didn't just buy Nelson into the event but also donated the $111 for him to get the extra 5,000 in chips while supporting a great cause.

Nelson said, "I want to thank OPMH for giving this once-in-a-lifetime experience, and the WSOP for running such an incredible event. I hope to know what a Day 2 feels like."

Good luck to him in his first-ever WSOP experience and stay tuned on his progress.
