Hand #145: Josh Hale Wins the WPT Legends of Poker ($500,000)

Josh Hale raises to 550,000, Max Steinberg quickly moves all in for 3.25 million, and Hale quickly calls with [JhJs]. Steinberg turns over [AcKs], and he’ll need to improve to stay alive.

The board comes [9h8d8s5sJc], and Josh Hale wins the pot — and the WPT title — with a full house, jacks full of eights.

Max Steinberg finishes as the runner-up, earning $293,490.

Josh Hale wins the WPT Legends of Poker, earning $500,000, which includes his entry into the season-ending WPT World Championship. He also wins a WPT Champions Trophy, and gets his name inscribed on the one-and-only WPT Champions Cup.

Congratulations to Josh Hale!
