Cliff “JohnnyBax” Josephy Joins UltimateBet Pros
May 29, 2008
It’s official – UltimateBet has announced the signing of Cliff "JohnnyBax" Josephy as the newest addition of talent to its roster of UltimateBet Pros. WSOP Bracelet winner and New York native Josephy takes his place at the online poker room alongside other pros like Shawn Rice, Scott Ian, Mark “P0ker H0” Kroon and Gary “Debo34” DeBernardi.
Cliff “JohnnyBax” Josephy gained quite the reputation as an imposing foe at live poker tournaments, earning more than $1.3 million at 21 tables. His greatest achievement was a Bracelet-worthy, 1st place victory in the 2005 WSOP, Event #8 7 Card Stud. Josehpy’s most lucrative win, however, came in September of 2006 at the UltimateBet Aruba Poker Classic, where a 2nd place finish earned him nearly half a million dollars - $446,975 to be exact.
What sets Josephy apart from most professional poker players is that he is one of a very elite few who have managed to earn more than $1 million not only at live poker tournaments, but playing online poker tournaments, as well.
Annie Duke, a phenomenal professional poker player who contributes to the tournament schedule and design of UltimateBet, was the leading light in signing Cliff Josephy. After following his accomplishments over the years, Duke felt it was time to offer a deal.
“A Star Player is one who has an undisputed high level of skill, lots of integrity, and is well respected in the world of online poker,” Annie Duke fortified the decision. “One look at his impressive record reveals that JohnnyBax epitomizes a Star Player and is the perfect addition to our roster of respected and talented poker players."
Josephy has plenty of experience with high-stakes action, dating back to a 14 year career as a stockbroker to the aristocratic side of the business. He then turned pro in the poker industry, where his exceptional skills have proved worthy once again. At 42 years of age, the father of three can now be found playing online poker exclusively at UltimateBet online poker room, under the username "JohnnyBax".
