Two years ago Aaron Massey made the transition from small-stakes circuit grinder to accomplished pro, making his big splash with a final table appearance here at the World Series of Poker. Massey��s irrepressible charm, impeccable style, and genuine enthusiasm for the game were evident throughout his deep run in Event #45 ($1,000 No-Limit Hold��em). Although he did not accomplish his dream of winning a gold bracelet on that day, Massey put the poker world on notice that his star would continue to rise.
Just over a year later, Massey��s passionate pursuit of poker glory paid dividends in a big way, as won the WinStar World Casino River Poker Series Main Event, scoring $651,559 and the validation he has been seeking since that final table appearance here in Las Vegas.
With his fourth cash of the 2013 WSOP secured here in the ante-only event, Massey has worked his way to the final three tables, and he will be looking to best his 8th place finish on the WSOP stage.
��I��ve just worked so hard for this, put everything I have into this poker thing,�� Massey told us while bagging and tagging last night. ��My dreams are finally starting to become reality, and it just feels very satisfying after all of the energy I��ve dedicated to the game.��
With just two dozen or so players standing between Massey and the goal he has focused on for years, there is no doubt he will be a force to be reckoned with as Day 2 of this event marches on.
