Joe McKeehen n'est pas que le gagnant du Main Event WSOP 2015, un succès à 7,6 millions de dollars. L'Américain a désormais amassé 13,6 millions de dollars sur le circuit live grâce à sa deuxième victoire sur un World Series Of Poker.
Avant dernier du classement à la reprise à 14 left, McKeehen a signé sa 3e victoire de 2017 en remportant le WSOP Event #38 Championship Limit dans la nuit de mercredi à jeudi. Il était encore short-stack à 3 left... ce qui ne l'a pas empêché d'ajouter 311 817$ à sa bankroll.
This may be 1 of the most impressive feats ive seen @WSOP . Congrats @dude904 84k chips to 6 million and a bracelet! https://t.co/rdHG8Ydwa5
