Wheeling, WV  -- It's a tournament like no other. Millions watch it from home and there are millions up for grabs, over 8.5 million dollars. Its the world series of poker.

This annual Vegas tournament will once again bring out the best poker players in the world, but this year a winner from Wheeling Island Racetrack and Casino will be at the main table.

Darvin Moon was able to position himself at the final table by winning the World Series of Poker satellite tournament held at Wheeling Island's Casino in March.

You can bet just having the chance to win over 8 million dollars has this poker pro ready to play.

"I've been playing for about 3 years. I started playing with my buddies in my spare time, but now its definitely nice to be playing for millions, " Darvin added.

When asked whether he would change his game when 8 million dollars are sitting on the table he said, "no, I don't get nervous. You either get the cards or you don't."

Darvin owns and operates a small logging company in Western Maryland and told us he's a regular here at Wheeling Island Casino.

Now you may have noticed Darvin's New Orleans Saints hat. He calls it his lucky charm.

In fact Darvin was even offered over a million dollars to wear a different hat. He turned the offer down.

Darvin will now head back to Vegas in November for the final of the World Series of Poker.
