Meehan Living the Dream

David Salituro

Level 1 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

Tom Meehan is seated in the Paris Black section to start his Main Event, but his story is different from most other competitors.

Meehan was diagnosed with ALS a year ago and has his friend Jason Steinert beside him to help him at the table. Originally from Rhode Island, Meehan currently lives in Michigan and has a big group of supporters from his Chelsea Poker Club who helped buy him into the Main Event and are standing on the rail to root him on as he fulfills his poker dream.

Four players saw the turn on a board of J♣8♥5♠3♥ when Kevin Selby led out for 2,100 in the small blind. Jeremy Halaska called in the big blind, as did Nicholas Lanzi in early position.

The river was the 10♦ and Selby bet another 2,000. Halaska folded this time, but Lanzi called. Selby turned over K♠K♥ and Lanzi mucked.
