Big Bluff-Catch Propels Joey Weissman to BetMGM Poker Championship Victory

In poker tournaments, you sometimes have to go with your gut. This sometimes means having to make big laydowns, while other times it requires making hero calls.

Someone who knows this well is Joey Weissman, who recently took down the inaugural BetMGM Poker Championship $3,500 Main Event at ARIA Resort and Casino for $224,236.

Weissman, who now has $4.3 million in Hendon Mob-reported earnings, made a big call deep in the tournament for nearly his tournament life that ended up propelling him to his eventual victory.
