Cliff Josephy Discusses Run at Bracelet No. 2
Cliff "JohnnyBax" Josephy headed to the dinner break as a massive chip leader in here in Event #9. The online poker legend is closing in on his second WSOP bracelet, having already won one in a $1,500 Seven Card Stud tournament in 2005 �� the first stud tournament he'd ever played at the time.
We caught up with Josephy during the dinner break to briefly discuss his run in this event.
PokerNews: You��re one of the most accomplished online players and have earned only one WSOP bracelet, which was a Stud event. How does it feel being a bracelet winner in a game that you��re most unfamiliar with?
Josephy: That was quite lucky. It was a long time ago and at the time it was my first time ever playing Stud, so I��ll contribute most of it to luck.
How confident are you leading into the final three?
Right now things are going my way. I mean, of course, anything can happen but everything is going pretty well for me so I feel very confident.
You busted Alessandro with versus his . Can you talk a little bit about that hand?
Basically Steve Silverman raised and we both had plenty of chips so I wanted to see a flop in position with a playable hand. When he shipped I was first inclined to fold but then realized that I had enough equity to call. The board ran giving me a full house so you know, I was fortunate to hit the board the way I did.
