Longtime poker dealer and beloved figure in the Las Vegas poker community, Clyde Gaskins, spun his way into a seat at the NAPT Las Vegas Main Event with a $5,300 buy-in, right while dealing at the PokerGO Studio. Sitting at the table dealing cards to stars like Adam Hendrix, Eric Baldwin, and Shannon Shorr, a unique moment occurred as the virtual wheel landed on his name.

Achieving this dream brought an immediate and genuine reaction from the winner, and the room erupted with excitement—high-fives, congratulations, and a hug from Cary Katz followed. "It's indescribable," said Gaskins, who is adored among players, especially after overcoming quadruple heart bypass surgery. Now, he has a golden opportunity to turn fan support into a remarkable story at the NAPT, which kicks off in early November. The atmosphere in the room during his win says it all—this is a moment you want to see on video.
