Heavy is the crown, they say, but Joe McKeehen doesn't seem to be feeling much burden being the world champion of poker.
After taking down the 2015 World Series of Poker Main Event, McKeehen remains the same relaxed, laid back guy he was before banking a life-changing score of $7,683,346. In fact, life-changing might not be the right word for it. As McKeehen tells is, things aren't much different for him nowadays, and it might be more accurate to call it a career-changing score.
"I'm playing some of these bigger tournaments now, that's about it," McKeehen said of life after winning the Main Event.
