This is kinda cool. A guy from Montgomery County won the World Series of Poker last night while decked out in a throwback Allen Iverson jersey.
Joe McKeehen, of North Wales, Montgomery County, held off challenges from his final two opponents Tuesday night in Las Vegas and won the $7.68 million first prize and the World Series of Poker championship title.
Josh Beckley, 24, of Evesham Township, Burlington County, was second, and Neil Blumenfield, 61, of San Francisco, finished third. The second-place finisher earned $4.47 million and third place $3.39 million.
That’s kind of, sort of a lot of money. The tournament started in May and finally concluded last night. Read more about it here.
