Bohn Repsenting PokerNews MSPT Deep in Event No. 14
One of the players deep in this event is Blake Bohn, winner of the 2013 Chicago Poker Classic Main Event for $288,171. Just last month, Bohn was announced as the first member of the PokerNews Mid-States Poker Tour Pro Team.
Born in Savage, Minnesota, Bohn began his professional poker playing career in 2004 focusing primarily on high-limit hold’em cash games while sprinkling in an occasional tournament. After some modest tournament success, Bohn made a commitment in 2010 to put more time and effort into no-limit hold’em tournaments, which included playing, traveling and studying more. Since then, Bohn has been doing very well on the felt, amassing six titles and over $660,000 in tournament earnings over the last three years.
In the summer of 2011, Bohn ran deep in the World Series of Poker Main Event, placing 126th of 6,865 entrants for $54,851. In total, Bohn has nearly $750 in lifetime earnings, 39 cashes and six titles. Just a week ago, Bohn took 196th in the 2013 WSOP "Millionaire Maker" event for $6,165.
