Career highlights

Johnson won the 343-entrant $2,500 Limit Hold'em Six Handed 2013 World Series of Poker Event 48 at a shorthanded final table that included Juha Helppi and Maria Ho, earning a prize of $206,796. Although that was his only bracelet up to that point, it was not Johnson's largest prize. He had finished second to Alexandre Gomes at the 2,317-entrant $2,000 No-Limit Hold'em 2008 World Series of Poker Event 48 for a prize of $491,273. In fact, prior to his first bracelet, he had finished as runner up three times in World Series of Poker events — $2,500 Limit Hold'em Six Handed 2012 World Series of Poker Event 40 and $1,500 Pot Limit Omaha Hi-Low Split-8 or Better 2013 World Series of Poker Event 31.[1] The 2013 bracelet was in the same $2,500 Limit Hold’em Six-Max event that he earned his 2012 runner-up finish in.[2]

On September 15, 2012, Johnson won the $320 buy-in PokerStars 2012 World Championship of Online Poker Limit H.O.R.S.E. Event No. 41 against a field of 598 for a prize of $33,727.20.[3] Johnson's biggest online win came on February 15, 2009 in the $150 + $13 buy-in Full Tilt Poker 200K Guarantee No-limit Hold'em with Rebuys when he defeated a field of 637 who had purchased 1142 rebuys and 547 addons for a prize of $85,481.[4] His biggest online prize came from a 3rd-place finish in the $10,000 + $300 buy-in September 20, 2009 PokerStars World Championship of Online Poker Limit H.O.R.S.E. Event No. 44 that earned him $133,900.[5]

Johnson's residence is in Mexico, where he plays high-stakes online poker.[2] Johnson was inspired to play poker by poker professional and legend Chip Reese, who was a neighbor of his growing up.[6]

gollark: On the one hand I do somewhat want to run osmarksforum™ with this for funlolz, but on the other hand handwritten ASM is probably not secure.
gollark: > Well, the answer is a good cause for flame war, but I will risk. ;) At first, I find assembly language much more readable than HLL languages and especially C-like languages with their weird syntax. > At second, all my tests show, that in real-life applications assembly language always gives at least 200% performance boost. The problem is not the quality of the compilers. It is because the humans write programs in assembly language very different than programs in HLL. Notice, that you can write HLL program as fast as an assembly language program, but you will end with very, very unreadable and hard for support code. In the same time, the assembly version will be pretty readable and easy for support. > The performance is especially important for server applications, because the program runs on hired hardware and you are paying for every second CPU time and every byte RAM. AsmBB for example can run on very cheap shared web hosting and still to serve hundreds of users simultaneously.

gollark: Huh, apparently some hugely apioformic entity wrote a bit of forum software entirely in assembly.
gollark: Interesting.
