'No Pressure' for Short-Stacked Recreational Player Harrison Dobin at WSOP

Ten months ago, Harrison Dobin couldn't have imagined himself playing a $10,000 online poker tournament.

He'd never played online before, and his poker experience was mostly comprised of small-stakes cash and tournament action. He had taken shots in a couple of big live tournaments on the East Coast, but he'd never had any scores north of $19K.

No, Dobin was focused on getting his newly opened business up and running, and his hobby remained a once-a-week diversion from the everyday grind.

One pandemic and a leap into the online waters later, though, Dobin improbably finds himself playing for $1.
