Joe McKeehen is a proud fan of the Philadelphia Flyers, but he seems to play his best poker in Atlantic City, New Jersey.

Last January we watched McKeehen take down Event 3 of the Borgata Winter Poker Open, winning $69,808 in the process.

McKeehen also won a World Series of Poker Circuit ring in 2013 at the Caesars Atlantic City Main Event, pocketing $174,150 for his efforts there.

The Broad Street Bully just took down a decent-sized pot late in the evening to move closer to yet another Atlantic City cash, as just six eliminations separate McKeehen from the money.

McKeehen played a three-handed pot after putting 5,000 in before the flop, along with Tyler Patterson and unidentified opponent holding the button. The flop came down {k-Hearts}{a-Hearts}{9-Clubs} and Patterson checked to McKeehen, who fired away with a bet of 5,000.

The button flatted and Patterson folded, bringing the {7-Spades} to the table on fourth street. McKeehen then bet 13,000 and his opponent made the call to see the {6-Hearts} complete the board on the river.

A bet of 38,000 from McKeehen finally scared the other player out of the pot, and he dragged a pile of chips his way to move well above the current average.
