Reichard One Back of Hawkins in WSOPC Ring Chase After Latest Win

3 min read
Josh Reichard is having his best year yet on the felt.

They say the only guarantees in life are death, taxes and the San Antonio Spurs making the NBA playoffs, but it may be time to add one more: Josh Reichard winning a World Series of Poker Circuit ring in his home state stop at Potawatomi in Milwaukee.

For the fourth straight WSOPC Potawatomi stop, Reichard added a ring to his swelling collection. This time around, Reichard won Event #9:$400 No-Limit Hold'em (1 Day) for $12,921.

The ring win is Reichard's 12th, putting him one back of Maurice Hawkins for the lead and tied with Val Vornicu for second all time.

In his latest win, Reichard held a sizable chip lead heading to the final table out of a field of 146 entries, according to the WSOP coverage. Reichard continued to roll at the final table and victory seemed all but assured as he had about 2 million out of about 2.2 million heads up against Yoon Kim, following the eliminations of a slew of Circuit regs like Byron Ziebell, Jorden Helstern and Bryan Skreens.

"He's a great player and he almost came back to take the win."

However, rough waters hit at that point and Kim mounted a large comeback. Reichard said Kim doubled his last few big blinds with 8x6x over 9x7x then called another shove with Qx8x in the big blind for about 420,000 at 20,000/40,000/40,000. He was in a dominating spot and held against queen-four and suddenly it was game on. Another double followed with ace-queen over ace-five, and Reichard found himself outchipped.

No sweat for Janesville's finest as he found his own dominating ace for a double back through then closed things out when his ace-three held on against king-jack.

"He's a great player and he almost came back to take the win," Reichard said.

A Personal Best 2019

If it seems like Reichard has been making headlines frequently in 2019, that's probably because he has. It's been quite the year for the Wisconsin pro, more successful even than the past few, which have been plenty strong.

Most recently, he shipped HPT East Chicago for the second time. That came several months after he shared some familial success with Brett "Pops" Reichard. There was also a final table run in the WSOP Millionaire Maker.

Reichard has cashed for over $450,000 this year, according to Hendon Mob. That follows two consecutive years in the $350,000 range after he previously had never cashed for more than $155,000.

Here's a look at all of Reichard's WSOPC wins, with the victories at Potawatomi highlighted in bold:
