It’s not the first time Michael “Texas Mike” Moncek has shoved blind at the 2025 World Series of Poker, but on this occasion, the two-time bracelet winner had reason to smile when the cards hit the felt.
Arguably matched only by Martin Kahbrel in terms of entertainment value so far this summer, the ultra-aggressive Moncek was all in for his tournament life in the $50K High Roller PLO, despite not having looked at his cards.
As well as making a habit of shoving blind, Texas Mike has shown a similarly fearless approach in other high roller spots, with PokerNews recently reporting on another unconventional play during the soft bubble of the $25,000 High Roller PLO/NLH Mixed.
