    By DONALD WITTKOWSKI Staff Writer
    ATLANTIC CITY - He took Caesars for more than $4 million, burned Borgata for about $5 million and then topped it off by beating Tropicana out of $5.8 million.
    For Don Johnson, it was an incredible streak of good luck at the Atlantic City blackjack tables.

    "I'll take luck over any other skill," Johnson said, laughing.
    ----------------------------------------------------------------

    "There's no magic to this. Eventually, someone would whack them. I'm just glad it was me."
    Johnson, 49, of Bensalem, Pa., is the chief executive officer of Heritage Development LLC, a Wyoming-based company that uses computer-assisted wagering programs for horseracing.
    He confirmed in two interviews with The Press of Atlantic City that he is the blackjack player who has been single-handedly scorching the casino industry in the past six months. His identity previously had been a mystery, known only to the casinos where he was a pampered high roller.
    By Johnson's account, he won $4.23 million at Caesars Atlantic City in December. Next, he conquered Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa, winning about $998,000 in December, then $1.8 million in March and April and $2.25 million over two nights later in April. Most remarkable was his haul of $5.8 million during a 12-hour spree at Tropicana Casino and Resort in April, a record loss for the casino. Multiple sources in the casino industry confirmed the accuracy of Johnson's story.
    In all, Johnson racked up about $15.1 million in blackjack winnings during a six-month span, although he acknowledged incurring some undisclosed losses along the way.
    "I don't wear Kevlar," he said. "I'm not bulletproof. I do have some losses in between."
    His huge wins capped a casino gambling career that started with him placing $25 bets at blackjack about 15 years ago. As he became more proficient, he transitioned into high-stakes wagering. At Tropicana last month, he was allowed to bet up to $100,000 a hand.
    "That's the highest I've ever heard of," he said.

    EPT Super High Roller

    Germany won first 3 Place's

    Reinkemeier Plays Pot Control
    posted 1 minute ago

    Martin Finger folded the button and Tobias Reinkemeier opted to limp from the small with the K¢¼9¢¼. Christoph Vogelsang then raised to 280,000 from the big with the A¢¼Q♦, Reinkemeier called and the two players saw a flop of K¢À7¢¼J♦. It went check-check, as it did on the 9¢À turn, and then Reinkemeier led out for 400,000 with his two pair on the 7¢À river. Vogelsang gave it some serious consideration but ultimately folded his hand.

    Martin Finger 7,925,000 -70,000

    McClean's spin up is already extraordinary. His total investment into EPT London runs to £93.
    ---------------------------
    He played an £11 feeder to a main online satellite, but whiffed it, which meant he needed to invest £82 in the next one. This time he was successful, taking him into the £530 satellite on PokerStars. He was then one of the last three in that tournament, earning him passage to the Connaught Rooms this week and the biggest poker event of his career.

    Play resumed on Day 5 of EPT London with 16 players still involved. The next player out would earn £25,780, which is an annual salary for many recreational poker players.

    For Leo McClean, a 24-year-old year old PokerStars qualifier to this tournament,
