Moncek With a Big Stack
Michael Moncek, better known as “Texas Mike,” is a two-time WSOP bracelet winner with four WSOP Circuit rings to his name. Despite the nickname, Moncek actually hails from Illinois, specifically the Chicago area, but picked up the nickname after attending the University of Texas in Austin.
He’s a regular sight at the poker tables wearing his signature burnt orange Longhorns cap and has proven himself across multiple formats, winning bracelets in both Limit Hold'em and Mixed No-Limit Hold'em events.
- 2022 – Event #13: $1,500 Limit Hold'em – 1st for $145,856
- 2023 – Event #6: $5,000 Mixed No-Limit Hold'em – 1st for $534,499
Coming back from the dinner break and with late registration now closed, Moncek had the biggest stack of 358,000 according to the WSOP+ app. Moncek has already cashed six times this WSOP series and is on track to make that seven here in this event.
