Cliff Josephy aka "Johnny Bax" has just won the $1500 Seven Card Stud Event. He takes home $192,150. A quick interview reveals that his nickname is his online handle. Apparently, "Johnny" whose day job is a stockbroker from Syosset, NY won a total of five and a half (7 with three chops) seats to the Main Event via online tournaments. He also confirms rumors that before tonight he had never played a hand of Stud in his life, and that Scott Fischman and crew gave him a five minute lesson before the start of this tournament.

He's either a very fast learner, a master of reading tells, or had one hell of a lucky ride.
