Call him the new million-dollar baby.
Florida State University student Leif Force Jr. will be returning to Tallahassee a rich man after placing 11th in the World Series of Poker Tournament in Las Vegas this week.
His $10,000 buy-in and tight game earned him $1.154 million "in the largest live poker event that's ever been held anywhere," said Dave Curley, spokesperson for the World Series of Poker. "To make it past the first day is a big deal. To make it to 11th place is almost beyond words."
He was up against 8,773 players who were all vying for a portion of the $82 million pot.
