2009 WSOP Main Event Deep Run
Joseph Luht made a significant impact at the 2009 World Series of Poker Main Event (Event 57: $10,000 World Championship No Limit Hold'em). The tournament drew 6,494 entrants, and Luht survived to Day 3 with 562,000 in chips, placing him among the contenders. He eventually reached the final table bubble, where he was eliminated on Day 6 in a dramatic three-way all-in hand. Holding top pair, Luht was up against Eric Cloutier and Wesley Ismay, both of whom had flopped flushes—Cloutier with a lower flush and Ismay with the nut flush. The turn and river did not improve Luht's hand, and Ismay’s flush eliminated both Luht and Cloutier. With nine players remaining at the time, Luht finished tied for 9th place, earning $1,263,602—the largest cash of his poker career.
