Can Iowa's Matthew “Michmeister” Mich Go Four for Four?

Matthew “Michmeister” Mich
Matthew “Michmeister” Mich

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.

WSOP Bracelet Winner Owais "Oerockets" Ahmed Reloads

Owais Ahmed
Owais Ahmed

The short-stacked Owais "Oerockets" Ahmed, who won the 2011 WSOP Event #47: $2,500 Omaha/Seven Card Stud Hi-Lo 8 or Better for $255,959 and a bracelet, moved all in for 3,158 from the lojack and Nabyl "Nabyl89" Simmons isolated with a three-bet to 10,374 from the cutoff. The rest of the players folded and the hands were turned up.

Owais "Oerockets" Ahmed: {k-Clubs}{10-Hearts}
Nabyl "Nabyl89" Simmons: {a-Diamonds}{8-Spades}

The {6-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{j-Clubs} flop didn't do Ahmed any favors, but the {q-Diamonds} turn did give him an up-and-down straight draw. Unfortunately for him, the {5-Spades} river was a brick and he watched the pot pushed to Simmons.

Ahmed opted to rebuy straight away and reloaded to the 30,000 starting stack.
