Event 3: Joe Mckeehen Takes the Title and $69,808 in 1st Place Prize Money
Joe Mckeehen just took down another big time poker tournament in Atlantic City, after capturing every chip in play at Event 3 of the 2014 Borgata Winter Poker Open. Mckeehen's held up over the tabled by Dimitrious "Jimmy" Goranitis to take the title.
Mckeehen, who had $664,637 in live tournament winnings before adding another five-figure haul to his record, played a patient and steady game throughout the two-day event, and it was evident that he was one of the more skilled players in the room.
With a WSOP Circuit ring to his credit already, and numerous large cashes throughout a poker career that has spanned just over three years, Mckeehen is already the 26th ranked player on Pennsylvania's all-time money list, and after today's sterling performance on the felt, we wouldn't be shocked to see him top that list in the near future.
