Richards Reveals His Secret

Some players have definitely chipped up nicely today, but so far none nicer than John Richards, who currently appears to have the biggest stack in the room.

Richards is a well-known mid-west poker player and a regular on the World Series of Poker Circuit. With over $500,000 in lifetime earnings, the biggest cash of his career came in January 2017, when he finaled the WSOPC Choctaw Main Event, finishing in 8th place for $46,708.

Last year at the WSOP he won a Daily Deepstack for $32,350, and in 2017 he final tabled Event #3: $3,000 No-Limit Hold'em Shootout for $31,955. He will be hoping for another deep run in this, the largest poker tournament of all time.

When asked how he's managed to chip up, he simply said, "Won a few big pots, just running well."
