WSOP Results - Joseph McKeehen Wins WSOP 2015 Bags 7.7 Million

The November Nine of the WSOP came down to two players Joshua Beckley and Joseph McKeehen. It was won by McKeehen who held a sizeable lead throughout the tourney. He was not favored to win since rarely is the chip leader going into the WSOP Final Table has come the winner. The only one in recent history is Jonathan Duhamel in 2008. But McKeehen powered through opponents like a game of dominoes taking down player after player and going home with $7.7 million dollars.
In a video interview from Cardplayer, he states he isn't going to be playing as much he was. He doesn't need to now . He's the poker king for the next couple of years. He can do coaching or play against high rollers in Vegas. I was surprised to learn about very wealthy people looking to play high stakes poker in Vegas with Phil Ivey , Dan Negreanu, Rick Salomon and the likes. These stakes are high , into the tens of millions of dollars. And McKeehen can do endorsements as well. Joshua Beckley is allready endorsing America's Cardroom. I don't know how much he's getting but it must be good!

Joe McKeehen - Poker Profile of Today Tops Poker Stars - November WSOP 2015

He appears to be a professor of some sort and plays unlike so many players. He squints his eyes as he plays. Wears no sunglasses, hoodies or disguises to hide facial expressions but he roars like a lion when he plays poker. He's Joe McKeehen, chip leader going into the November Nine and he rocks. He says he feeling no stress going into the last round and it really shows. He represents a different kind of player , no shark attitude at all. You won't hear from him I'm stacking bitches. It's a refreshing profile from the game of poker where you're a fish, donkey or shark.

He's also chip leader going into the the November Nine with over 60,000,000 chips. Will he hold onto his lead and push it to the limit? You'll have to see. His cashes are very impressive , nearly $2,000,000 at the age of 24. Last year he won over $800,000 at the WSOP. He's good bet to become the next Pokerstar in ranks of Daniel Negreanu and Phil Ivey.

Thomas Cannuli - Preparing for a Big Poker Tournament - WSOP 2015

I'm going over the November Nine and saw a Thomas Cannuli video on Youtube. In it, he talks about where he is right now at the pinnacle of success in the poker world or at least at its doorstep and how it feels. It was so good, I wanted others to look and get the feel of a "winning poker player's" approach.
The video is an interview from WSOP. He talks about how he is greatful, blessed and lucky that everything happened the way it did. He was in the WSOP last year but busted out at 690th place or so. So he's right to credit everything that happened the way it did. In fact it's easy to get a great hand but to maintain a grip and win really is a blessing. All of us have gotten great hands ie. four of a kind, full houses, straights but don't always turn it into winning a tournament. Keeping an edge is a blessing.
He also mentions he's taking a month or so off. Sometimes it's great to do just that . Don't play everyday or every waking minute. Get out, broaden horizons and take your mind off the game so you don't burn yourself out. And in the process you'll keep yourself more excited about the game. After he's going to play like crazy and sharpen up. And he's got great mentors to help him.
His motivation for playing? He says it simply is money. Money is what makes the world go around in poker and keeps you playing. Without money you won't be in the game. He also says his other reason for loving winning at poker is that it keeps him as his own boss. He says that while wearing a Hugo Boss tshirt with the word BOSS noted bodly in center. And this is a great reason to be a winning poker player. You don't answer to anybody. Here's the video.
