Daniel Negreanucalled what Joe ‘dude904’ McKeehen did the past three days the most lopsided performance at a Main Event final table since Stu Ungar won his third title in 1997.

And it’s easy to understand why.

McKeehen was personally responsible for six of the eight eliminations at the final table on his way to winning the 2015 WSOP Main Event, $7,683,346, and the first WSOP bracelet of his career.

“I was just focused and I didn’t want to get ahead of myself, I have been that way the whole tournament because it was working,” said McKeehen. “I feel pretty good now of course.”

With over two-thirds of the chips in play when action resumed on Tuesday, McKeehen made quick work of the third and final day of play, needing only 41 hands to eliminate Neil Blumenfield in third and Joshua Beckley in second.

Blumenfield fell on the 28th hand of the night when he ran his pocket twos in McKeehen’s pocket queens. The final hand of the night was just 12 hands later when Buckley, facing an 8-1 chip deficit, pushed all-in with pocket fours. McKeehen called with Ah Td and watched the dealer spread out a Qs Tc 5s flop, giving McKeehen middle pair. The 5d turn and Jc river were both blanks and McKeehen’s impressive run to the title was complete.

The only two final table players that McKeehen didn’t eliminate were Tom Cannuli and Zvi Stern. Max Steinberg, who was busted by McKeehen in fourth place, eliminated Cannuli in sixth and Blumenfield busted Stern in fifth.

Before those two eliminations, McKeehen eliminated Patrick Chan in ninth, Federico Butteroni in eighth, and Pierre Neuville in seventh. If you want to trace his run back even further, he eliminated Alexander Turyansky in tenth and famously ended the run of Negreanu in 11th.
