Pearson Enjoying a Memorable Ride
![[user153906]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
Alan Pearson is living out every amateur poker player's dream right now. Pearson, who is playing in his only event of the 2012 WSOP, began the day with just 5,200 chips. He's now sitting behind a massive tower worth around 200,000.
The Texas native told us this is his third year playing at the WSOP. Yesterday he squeezed his way into the money for the first time. He's now eyeing a life-changing score if he can take this one down.
Pearson says he has "chills" right now, and it has nothing to do with the frigid temperature here in the Amazon Room.
