Aaron Massey Is Stylin' and Proflin' As He Tries to Burst Onto the Poker Scene With His 1st WSOP Final Table Appearance

Aaron Massey arrived at the Rio today dressed to the nines in hopes of making a good impression at his first WSOP final table. With his maroon leather jacket and crisp new jeans, Massey told us he "is hoping to make a splash here today."

After becoming a fixture on the WSOP Circuit and the Heartland Poker Tour, Massey is seeking his biggest score to date here at the world's premiere poker event. Repeating his personal motto of "Destiny is mine," when Massey told us that he "just wants to be a poker star so bad" his passion for the game was written on his red leather sleeve. He has been documenting what he termed "his failures so far this summer" through his website chicagopokerclub.net, and says the blog is his way of living his dream of becoming a professional player.

So far, the affirmations have worked and Massey is already running good from the get go, after having found a $20 bill tucked inside his jacket pocket. Massey laughed when he found the lost dough, saying "I'm on a freeroll now baby!" before adding "Round of drinks on me!"
