When it comes to the World Series of Poker Circuit (WSOPC), there are few more fearsome denizens than Michael Lech, particularly when hunting in international waters.
Lech has won eight gold rings competing in the WSOPC, with five of them coming in different countries (St. Maartens, Italy, France, Mexico and the USA). A bracelet has since joined that opulent collection.
It’s been an incredible series for Lech who has finished in the money (ITM) in seven of the first 13 events, including the win in the High Roller. Lech, competing as ‘miguelfiesta’, beat William “SlaweelRyam’ Romaine in heads-up action to win his sliver of gold. Romaine finished 61st in last years WSOP Main Event.
It’s not the first time that Lech has been heads-up for a bracelet. In 2016 he finished runner-up to Hung Le with the No Limit Hold’em Crazy Eights bracelet sitting on the table. There were 6,761-entrants in that one.
Final tables are rarely places for the poor, and the paltry and this one was no different. Conor Drinan won five Spring Championships of Online Poker (SCOOP) titles in the springtime, and Drinan finished sixth in this one.
A certain Megan Milburn finished eighth. You may remember that Mike ‘The Mouth” Matusow vowed to do a whole host of depraved and disgusting things to her after he accused her of slow-rolling him in a previous event.
It hasn’t affected her stride one bit.
Here are the final table results.
Event #13: $1,500 High Roller
649-entrants
