Several players have qualified into the $10,400 buy-in World Poker Tour (WPT) World Championship by playing on ClubWPT, and one of the latest to do so is Chace McKamie.

McKamie, a 35-year-old from Arkansas, started playing poker when he was nine years old and continues to play to this day. The Iraq war veteran and father of five now has a chance to play for a record-breaking $40 million guaranteed prize pool at Wynn Las Vegas come December.

PokerNews caught up with McKamie to chat about his poker background and thoughts on playing in the WPT World Championship.
