Justin “looshle” Pechie was born in Putnam and has been playing poker professionally since he was 21. When he first started playing, he mostly played Limit Hold’em cash games and online MTT’s. In 2006, his first live cash was recorded in which he raked in an extraordinary $206,207 from a third place finish in the 2006 WSOP $2,500 No Limit Hold’em Event. This big score propelled his bankroll to new heights and since then he has been playing mostly MTT’s with the majority of his earnings coming from online poker.

His biggest score to date is a $260,736 cash which he earned from a second place finish in the 2007 WSOPC $5,000 No Limit Hold’em Championship Event. Another one of his most notable wins is a bracelet which he got from winning the 2011 WSOP $1,500 Limit Hold’em Shootout, which pocketed him a sleek $167,060. He spent six months after that in Mexico playing online.

Justin has amassed over $2 millions in poker earnings, over half a million of which has come from live poker. However, he does not only play poker to benefit himself. He has been helping the poker community out by being a poker coach at TournamentPokerEdge.
