Former Dairy Farmer 'Milkman' Eyeing Another Deep WSOP Main Event Run

When he wasn't milking cows on his family dairy farm in Windsor, Texas, Mason Vieth was playing poker at the nearest casino in Thackerville, Oklahoma.

"I grew up milking the cows and playing poker at WinStar World Casino," the former dairy farmer told PokerNews. "I would stay up all night playing poker, then go milk them, then go back. Three days in a row most of the time. No sleep."

Those hard-earned poker chops are now paying off for Vieth, better known as "Milkman," — as embroidered on his royal blue cap —who is one of 533 players who advanced to Day 5 of the World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event.

PokerNews caught up with Vieth during a break on Day 4 as he chased his first bracelet and life-changing money in an event that will award $10 million.
