The 35 Hour Bus Ride for a Once in a Lifetime Shot at $1 Million

After winning a Golden Passport, Matt Young chose a somewhat unique way to get to Las Vegas to play for his shot at life-changing money.

Every single player in the ClubWPT Gold $5M Invitational Freeroll showed up to Wynn Las Vegas with two things: a dream and a story. Every single one of them arrived with the same dream – win the $1 million first place prize – but each of them brought their own unique story.

Matt Young is one of those dreamers and his pursuit of that million dollars started in Fayetteville, Arkansas and made stops in Oklahoma City, OK, Wichita Falls, TX, Amarillo, TX, Albuquerque, NM, and Flagstaff, AZ before finally ending in Las Vegas. That’s the way you get to Vegas from Fayetteville when you leave the driving to Greyhound.
