Total Entries: 1,162

On a flop of 8s5s2d, Michael Newman checked from the small blind and the player under-the-gun checked as well. Johanssy Joseph bet 1,400 from middle position and Newman folded.

Under-the-gun called and the turn was the 8d. Both players checked and the river was the Jd. Under-the-gun bet 4,000 and Joseph called.

Under-the-gun showed Qc4h, giving him queen-high and Joseph won the pot with TcTd.

Joseph has had a very successful series thus far, making three final tables in the preliminary events. His best finish was a fourth place finish in the $570 No Limit Hold’em Double Black Chip Bounty.

He’s continued his hot streak in the early goings of this event as he nears a six-figure chip count.

Johanssy Joseph – 96,000
