Biography

In 2017, Michael Newman topped a field of 585 entrants to win the WPT RRPO for $374,240 and etch his name on the WPT Mike Sexton Champions Cup. He did so by defeating a stack final table that included Matas Cimbolas (2nd - $262,440), Darryll Fish (3rd - $168,920), Ari Engel (5th - $93,560), Tom Marchese (6th - $75,380), and Shaun Deeb (9th - $37,420).

What’s more, Newman is actually one of the most accomplished players in Seminole Hard Rock Poker (SHRP) history having claimed seven titles. In November 2022, his seventh title came when he bested a 107-entry field to win the 2022 RRPO Event #18: $400 Deep Stack Turbo NLH for $7,136. That put him in a tie with Brian Altman, Yuval Bronshtein, Gabe Ramos, and David Prociak, behind only Raminder Singh’s nine titles.

Newman, who is in his mid-50s with no kids, is originally from New York but relocated to South Florida.

“I moved down here from New York in the middle of 2015 and it became my home,” he told PokerNews. “It’s been good to me.”

That might be an understatement as Newman currently sits in fourth place on the Seminole Hard Rock Hollywood’s all-time number of cashes list with 113 (Ory Hen leads with 127 cashes as of November 2022).

“It’s always tough to win a title. I enjoy it so much,” Newman said of his most recent victory. “Even when I won the big one, no one could believe I played the $150 the next day. I just love poker so much. There’s the thrill of competition, and it was pretty thrilling there at the end when I got the recent trophy.”

A one-time diehard New York Giants fan (Lawrence Taylor is his all-time favorite player), Newman has also had some success in the World Series of Poker (WSOP).

“I almost won a bracelet on two separate occasions. One with my tag team partner, who is my former coach, Paul Snead. We finished 10th. Negreanu, we had aces, he had kings and hit a one outer. I finished fourth last year in the tag team. A guy flushed me when I had him preflop, but that’s poker.”

Indeed, Newman finished in 10th place in the 2017 WSOP Event #2: $10,000 Tag Team Championship alongside teammates Charlemagne Benjamin and Snead, and last year finished fourth with teammate Robert Ormont in the 2021 WSOP $1,000 Tag Team event.
