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 was on display in the 2020 WSOP online bracelet events early on as he cashed in all three of the first events right off the bat. 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.

Since then, he's added three other cashes and is hoping for a seventh, and his first bracelet, in this event.

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 previously sent PokerNews these photos of him at his grind station.
