Career

Until 2015: beginnings

McKeehen learned poker by watching the 2003 World Series of Poker Main Event on television. He played online until April 2011 under the nickname dude904 , with whom he earned over one million US dollars with tournament poker on the platforms PokerStars and Full Tilt Poker . McKeehen has also been taking part in renowned live tournaments since 2010.

In mid-January 2012, McKeehen won a tournament as part of the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure in the Bahamas , which brought him more than $ 100,000 in prize money for the first time. In July 2012, he was the first time in the World Series of Poker (WSOP) in the Rio All-Suite Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas successful and finished with a tournament variant No-Limit Hold'em the 255th place. In March and May 2013 McKeehen won two WSOP circuit tournaments and thus two rings as well as almost $ 200,000 in prize money. At the 2014 WSOP , he reached the final table at the monster stack event with over 7,500 players, finishing second behind the Frenchman Hugo Pingray for more than $ 800,000 in prize money.

At the 2015 World Series of Poker , McKeehen was one of 6,420 players in the main event , which requires a buy-in of $ 10,000. The tournament started on July 5, 2015. There he reached the final table , which was played from November 8, 2015, with by far the largest chip stack . On the first day of the final table, he eliminated three players and continued to extend his lead. On the second day of the final, things continued to go well, so that McKeehen had a massive chip count lead over the other two remaining players, Joshua Beckley and Neil Blumenfield . On the last day of the final he prevailed in heads-up after 183 hands against Beckley and won the final hand with A ♥ 10 ♦ against 4 ♦ 4 ♣ on the evening of November 10, 2015 . The victory earned McKeehen his first bracelet as well as the world title and more than 7.5 million US dollars in prize money.
