Can Iowa's Matthew ��Michmeister�� Mich Go Four for Four?
At the beginning of the month, Iowa��s Matthew ��Michmeister�� Mich had just $3,344 in live tournament earnings, nearly half of which came from two small WSOP cashes, one in 2018 and the other in 2019.
What those paltry numbers don��t reveal is his experience and success online, which has been on display here in the 2020 WSOP online bracelet events as he��s cashed in all three events thus far. It started when he took 19th in Event #1: $500 NLH Kickoff, and on Thursday he final tabled Event #2: $1,000 NLH 8-Handed Deepstack for $15,628. In Event #3: $400 NLH, he placed 298th for a $602.20 min-cash.
Mich, a former poker dealer, traveled to Las Vegas with Taylor Howard, a Mid-States Poker Tour (MSPT) champ who finished in 26th place in the aforementioned kickoff event.
��He was only planning on being out here a couple weeks, but now I think he might stay with me and chase the leaderboard,�� Howard said of his friend.
Mich, one of the breakout performers of the online series thus far, is in action today looking to go four for four.
