Known for his incredible consistency and competitive spirit, Reichard has dominated regional tours for years, earning a spot in the Mid-States Poker Tour (MSPT) Hall of Fame. With a trophy cabinet filled with World Series of Poker (WSOP) Circuit rings and a major World Poker Tour title, he is currently ranked among the top players in Wisconsin’s all-time money list.
Career Earnings & Biggest Results
With total live tournament earnings of nearly $6 million (according to The Hendon Mob), Reichard is one of the most productive players in the United States. His biggest career score came in 2024 at the WPT Seminole Hard Rock Poker Showdown, where he outlasted a massive field to win the $3,500 Championship for $839,300. This victory marked his transition from a “minor league” crusher to a “major league” champion.
Reichard’s resume is also defined by his performance at the World Series of Poker. In 2025, he finished 3rd in the $1,500 Millionaire Maker for a huge $702,360 payday. He is also famous for his record-breaking runs on the WSOP Circuit, where he has won 15 gold rings, placing him in a tie for the second-most rings in the history of the tour.
Biography & Poker Background
Originally from Janesville, Wisconsin, Reichard’s poker story is a family affair. He was taught the game by his father, Brett Reichard, and the two often travel together to compete in tournaments across the country. Josh began his career grinding local events in the Midwest, quickly becoming the face of the Mid-States Poker Tour (MSPT). In 2022, he was inducted into the MSPT Hall of Fame as its tenth member and later secured the Season 13 Player of the Year title. Despite his massive success and high-ranking status, he remains a dedicated family man who balances his time between the high-pressure poker world and his life back home in Wisconsin.
Play Style & Strategy
Reichard is known for a highly aggressive and exploitative style of play. Unlike many modern pros who rely strictly on GTO (Game Theory Optimal) strategies, he focuses on reading his opponents’ tendencies and adjusting his play to maximize value. He often describes his stack as being on a “yo-yo” because of the high-variance nature of his aggression, but his results prove that he knows exactly when to turn up the pressure. His mental toughness and ability to stay level-headed during the swings of the game are his biggest assets, allowing him to navigate through fields of thousands of players with ease.
