(Odessa, TX) - For the second straight year, Jeremy Symington is sitting at the World Series of Poker.
The Jackalopes' goaltender won the seat online after playing a series of online preliminary games before winning the final online tournament to secure his seat in the main event.
"Well I'm definitely excited about things," said Symington. "Last year went well for me when I competed in it and I'm looking forward to this year. I have a little more experience having been there last year."
