Mike is a player who has been around many years. he was a friend of the late great Stu Ungar, but is perhaps better known for his commentating on poker events than his playing in them.

He was born in Indiana, 1947, and has spent much of his life involved in poker. As well as being a talented player and announcer for the game he also campaigns to bring poker to a wider audience the world over.
Sponsored by PartyPoker, Mike has had nine cashes in major tournaments but has never managed to capture a bracelet thus far. this is surprising after a remarkable career, but perhaps his change of direction towards commentating on, and being an ambassador for the game, has played it’s part here.
Mike has also had a book on the subject of poker published called ‘Shuffle up and Deal’ and continues to be an avid promoter of poker. His current residence as you might expect, is Las Vegas, although he continues to travel to, play in, and be an announcer for, major tournaments every year.
Having amassed tournament earnings recorded at under $400,000, many might say that Mike is not as talented as some of his fellow professionals. However, he continues to make great plays at the World Series and WPT amongst other tournaments, to dispel the thoughts of anyone doubting his ability.
The only thing missing from Mikes achievements is a major title but he is certainly someone you could bet on to accomplish this before his career is over.
