Introducing Paul Loh

Paul Loh
Paul Loh
One of the players doing well today is Paul "daprodigyta2" Loh. Loh won into the Main Event after some of his friends let him know that you can get in for cheap from online satellites. This marks the first time he is playing the Main Event, although he has played in other WSOP events before. He's originally from Hawaii and has never cashed in a WSOP event.

He's been playing the game for about eight years now, but just recently took three years off to pursue tattoo artistry. "I really enjoyed my time off from poker," explained Loh as he hinted towards understanding how hard it can be to make this game your living. After his time off, Loh came back to the game and played some WPT satellites in March to get back into things.

Some of the money Loh had saved up to open his own tattoo parlor has gone towards this year's WSOP adventures and he hopes to do really well. He also hopes to eventually have the opportunity to play in some EPT and LAPT events along the way.

His fiance Shelly will be keeping her fingers crossed as she hopes that Paul can do well in the granddaddy of all poker events.
