Being chip leader of the 2015 World Series of Poker November Nine means Joe McKeehen is the envy of the poker world, the toast of friends and peers, and the favorite to take down the most prestigious crown in poker along with a life-changing score of $7,680,021.
If he's feeling any pressure however, the man hasn't let on it. He told PokerNews he's spent much of time since Alexander Turyansky fell in 10th place just relaxing at home and avoiding stress. If his Twitter feed is any judge, the most stressful moments for McKeehen the past few months have been following his beloved Philadelphia sports teams, with the early-season struggles of the Philadelphia Eagles seeming to grate particularly hard.
