Ron "MacDaddy15" McMillen limped in on the button, and Ryan "Im.Sorry" Torgersen raised to 675,000 in the big blind. McMillen three-bet to 2,057,000, and Torgersen four-bet shoved for 11,040,280. McMillen didn't hesitate long before calling off his 9,447,720 stack.
Ron "MacDaddy15" McMillen: 
Ryan "Im.Sorry" Torgersen: 
It was a coin flip for nearly all of the chips in play, and McMillen found a dream 
flop, giving them top set and leaving Torgersen looking for running cards to win the bracelet. The 
turn and 
river were safe for McMillen, and he took down the massive pot.

Ryan "Im.Sorry" Torgersen was all in preflop for 1,752,560 and Ron "MacDaddy15" McMillen called.
Ryan "Im.Sorry" Torgersen: 
Ron "MacDaddy15" McMillen:
Torgersen was ahead and connected with the 
flop but it also gave McMillen the diamond flush draw.
The sweat didn't last long as the 
turn completed McMillen's flush and the meaningless 
completed the board on the river eliminating Torgersen in second place.

On Thursday night, the 2020 WSOP Online Event #9: $1,000 No-Limit Hold'em 6-Max drew 658 runners who rebought 368 times.
The 1,026-entry field resulted in a $974,700 prize pool, and after 10 hours of play, it was 70-year-old Ron "MacDaddy15" McMillen coming out on top to win a $188,214 top prize and a WSOP gold bracelet.
While he's got plenty of live experience, the tournament marked his first time ever playing online poker. He navigated a field of young, online crushers to show that even a live player can succeed online.
McMillen, a regular on the Mid-States Poker Tour (MSPT), actually came fairly close to winning a bracelet in the past on a couple of occasions. In 2014, he finished 12th in Event #19: $1,500 NLH for $29,709, and a year later placed 10th in the 2015 WSOP Event #6: $1,000 NLH Hyper-Turbo for $14,255.
It was clearly a special moment for McMillen and his friends cheering him on.
Iowa’s Ron "MacDaddy15" McMillen had never played online poker before, but that didn’t stop him from winning tonigh… https://t.co/W7xPULMnYT

| Place | Player | Prize |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Ron "MacDaddy15" McMillen | $188,214 |
| 2 | Ryan "Im.Sorry" Torgersen | $116,379 |
| 3 | Wade "WillowG23" Griffith | $81,972 |
| 4 | Ruth "crazeelf666" Ruffman | $58,482 |
| 5 | Chris "moodeez" Moody | $42,301 |

After Ray "Raytrg" Vilaman bubbled the tournament in 144th place, the eliminations came at a rapid pace. Among the notables to cash were Chris "Robotbob47" Moorman (141st - $1,656.99), Alan "mossadshark" Sternberg (109th - $1,754.46), Daniel “DNegs” Negreanu (96th - $1,851.93), Tara "bertperton" Cain (79th - $2,241.81), Yong Keun "LuckySpewy1" Kwon (56th - $2,729.16), Nick "cashUSklay" Schulman (43rd - $3,703.86), Anthony "heheh" Zinno (22nd - $5,360.25), Ryan "Adopt_aDogg0" Leng (10th - $10,331.82) and Aram "X69Podheiser" Zobian (8th - $17,447.13).
This was Ian "apokerjoker2" Steinman's second final table appearance this series but unfortunately, it was short-lived once again after he lost a flip holding ace-nine suited to McMillen's pair of ducks.
Chris "moodeez" Moody was the next to go after they three-bet jammed holding a suited jack-ten but was dominated by Ryan "Im.Sorry" Torgersen holding king-jack. Moody flopped a broadway draw but the board finished with running fives ending their tournament in fifth place.
The final table eliminations continued in a flurry after Ruth "crazeelf666" Ruffman got her remaining chips in the middle holding a made hand of tens but ran into the pocket queens of Torgersen ending her night in fourth place.
After Wade "WillowG23" Griffith bowed out in third place – the result of getting it in on the river holding top-pair only to see Torgersen table a flush – the heads-up match was set with Torgersen holding almost a 2:1 chip lead over McMillen.
Despite the disparity, it proved to be a back-and-forth affair until McMillen won a flip holding pocket tens against Torgersen's ace-queen. There wasn't much of a sweat as a ten appeared in the window giving McMillen a set to win the hand and from there he held a 19:1 chip advantage.
It only took two short hands after when Torgersen was eliminated in second place after they flopped top-pair holding king-four only to be flushed out on the turn by McMillen's ten-five of diamonds.
Immediately after the victory, McMillen and his friends headed to ARIA to celebrate with a bottle of Dom Pérignon.
The next tournament on the schedule – Event #10: $600 No-Limit Hold'em MonsterStack – will take place at 3 p.m. PDT on Friday. The PokerNews Live Reporting Team will once again be reporting all the action, so be sure to tune in then to see who captures the fourth bracelet of the 2020 WSOP!
