Biography

Michael Moncek, also known as "Texas Mike", is an American poker player. He is a two-time WSOP bracelet winner and has won three WSOP Circuit rings.

In 2022, he won Event #13: $1,500 Limit Hold'em for $145,856. He followed that up in 2023 with a win in Event #6: $5,000 No Limit Hold'em/Pot Limit Omaha.

��It feels awesome, especially in a game that I��ve never played before,�� he said following his win. ��I��m going to have to learn to play it now.��

In 2024, Moncek started making appearances on Hustler Casino Live, and attracted a legion of fans for high VPIP stats and fearless style of play.

He also took part in May's Million Dollar Game, where he pulled off one of the best bluff's you'll ever see in the week-long high stakes cash game.

Despite a strong start to the week, Moncek found himself on the wrong side of lady lucky several times, causing him to lose $2.75 million in just one session.
