Joe McKeehen, a suburban Philadelphian who still lives with his parents at age 24, calls himself an "average Joe" who is "trying to live the dream" on his Twitter profile.
He's living it now.
Wearing a Sixers' Allen Iverson jersey, McKeehen captured fame and fortune Tuesday night winning the 2015 World Series of Poker at the Rio All-Suite Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas.
His prize for winning the no limit Texas Hold 'em tournament is a staggering $7,683,346, plus a spectacular diamond and gold bracelet.
McKeehen prevailed by knocking out a final challenger who comes from his neck of the woods, 24-year-old Josh Beckley of Evesham Township, N.
