Pennsylvania poker pro Joe McKeehen never gave up his lead in the World Series of Poker’s championship event, and took home $7.68 million Tuesday night as the victor.

25-year-old McKeehen won when his ace-10 turned into a pair of tens on the flop, ensuring his victory in a face-off with Joshua Beckley of New Jersey who went all-in with a pair of fours.

McKeehen held an overwhelming lead in poker chips coming into the finale and the entire three-day event.

“I thought it was the Joe Show,” said ESPN analyst and poker pro Antonio Esfandiari who said McKeehen played nearly perfect poker. “He played great, he ran great, and you can’t overcome that combination. He did exactly what he needed to do to not give up the chip lead ever,” he said.

McKeehen was characteristically nonchalant in the moments after winning.
